My team member and friend, Shari Wicks from Florida, used Berry Harvest Stamp #161272 to create this exquisite card. After gold embossing on watercolor paper, Shari water colored the images. The result are stunning and regal!

Inside Shari used the Very Best Trio Punch #159878. Shari has inspired me to use my heat embossing supplies!! When was the last time you heat embossed??

These colors are Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive for water coloring. The base card is Blackberry Bliss with a layer of Distress Gold 12 X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper #159237.

Copper Heat Embossing looks so natural with any rosy hued paper! This is the May Early Release Bundle, Love What You Do! I have a "paper saving tip" for YOU -

The Copper Foil #142020 layer of this card made TWO layers!! I used my Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer #126889 to cut the smaller layer from the center of the larger layer. The Designer Paper totally covers the hole!
