This month I decided try the water-colour crystals with the painted poppies stamp set.  The painted poppies stamp set is part of a must have bundle and even a must have suite!!!

I have completely fallen in love with this suite!! You will see more projects from me with them.  But for todays card, what do you think?

I had sooooo much fun making this card.  Have to admit it is a little messy, so make sure you move projects etc that you don't want to mess up!!  So first, I stamped the flowers on one piece of water color paper and the leaves on another with versa mark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I sprinkled the melon mambo watercolor crystals on the flowers and the granny apple green on the leaves.  Using my spritzer I activated the crystals and set aside to dry (see video below).

In the meantime I stamped and assembled the rest of the card.  Once the paper was dry, I took a paper towel and just wiped any color that was on the white embossing  (if you skip this step you will have pigments all over your hands (well, you likely will anyway LOL, but it is sooooo worth it).  Take a look at the flowers close up.

I am really happy with the effect that the water-colour crystals made.  Please watch my video if you are interested in making this card.  Please subscribe to my You Tube channel and like, comment and share the video if you like it.  For a complete list of supplies please see the bottom of this post.

The dimensions for this card are as follows:

• 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 whisper white card stock, scored at 4 1/4
• 5 1/4 X 4 whisper white card stock embossed with the stone 3D embossing folder
