Happiness Abounds Bundle for #tgifc378

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's card is inspired by the TGIF Challenges Inspiration Challenge #378 - 'Just A Few Of My Favourite Things'   Fun eh!  Well it's no secret watercolouring is a favourite of mine.  I also really love Clean & Simple Cards with a bit o' bling!  So I chose the Colour Challenge #479  from CAS Colours & Sketches for my color palette.  While I wasn't able to participate in the challenge at the time please use the hyperlink to visit their blog.  

Please click on either my card or #tgifc378 to visit the challenge, enjoy the inspiration :)

*  Stamp and emboss the images from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, #159238 with White Embossing Powder on Velum Cardstock, #101856, then die cut with the Blossoming Happiness Dies, #158823.

*  Watercolour the images with So saffron, Blushing Bride & Soft Sea Foam.  ***Trix, with the ink pad closed, squish the lid to add a colour to the lid, when it's open pick up the colour from the lid & add water to dilute the colour as needed using the Water Painters, #151298. 

*  The watercolour will stop at the raised emboss edge, allow to dry and add more colour as needed or blend colours as you wish.    

*  Adhere the flowers to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White cardstock layer.  ***Trix, the velum will naturally curl when watercoloured, adhere the flowers with glue dots in the centre only,  leaving the edges to curl and add dimension to the card.  

*  Adhere the card layer to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Thick Basic White card base.  Stamp the sentiment with Soft Sea Foam, add a Bakers Twine bow behind the sentiment and adhere to the sentiment to the card ***Trix, double stack dimensionals on the edge that adheres to the card base only, allow the sentiment layer to simply lie over the flowers.  Embellish with Iridescent Basic Rhinestone Jewels, #158130
