Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this card using paints, embossing powders, die cuts and stamps.

To begin, I created a watercolour background using three colours from my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints. I painted srips of each colour just under half way across the width of the card. I then spritzed the paint lightly with water and left it to dry naturally.

Next, using Wow embossing ink, I stamped the words stamp from Shady Design by Louise Sims Beautiful Day set. I followed the edge of the paint so that it was not in a staight line down the page. I then added gold embossing powder and heat set.

Next I die cut the leafy branch from black card. The die I used was an older one from Stamps by Me.

I, then, glued this to my background piece. Again, following the edge of the paint.

As I had no gold mirri card, I die cut the sentiment, another older die from Stamps by Me, out of white card. I then pressed this, right dide down, onto the Wow embossing ink pad and then added gold embossing powder to it and finally heat set the powder. 

Finally I glued the background piece to a 5 x 7 inch card blank and added the sentiment.
