We are in the midst of the Papertrey Ink countdown, and today we have a new stamp set and coordinating dies to show you that will be released on Dec. 15th at 10 pm EST called Big Hugs. Who couldn't use a hug card, right? I know there are days when I could sure use one. :)
On this card, I've used watercolor pencils to create the background, added the "hugs" die cut with the new Big Hugs dies and used the Big Hugs stamps for the sentiment.
On this next one, I cut out the Hugs out of watercolor paper and left it out, then backed it with another piece of paper. I drew my own flowers and leaves with the watercolor pencils and added water over the top to make them look painted. I've got a video below to show you how to do this!
Last, I used the Make It Market: Beautiful Brushstrokes stamps from an older Make It Market kit from Papertrey Ink with Big Hugs to create this one. These flowers were stamped onto watercolor paper instead of drawn on like I did with the first two cards.

Just beautiful! I wish my random attempts looked as good as yours. Love the sweet flowers you drew on...simplicity at it's best!:)
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your techniques, I forgot how much fun the pencils can be.
Pretty cards and pretty sentiments!
Danielle, Thank you for the video. I absolutely love your cards today. I have stayed away from the watercolor idea until today. You have sold me. Your video makes it look so easy for someone like me that can't draw a straight line with a ruler! :) I can't wait to experiment CASEing your cards.
Stunning projects, but that last card is the bomb!
Oh, these are all so fabulous, Danielle!
