Happy New Year Hugs!
Hi readers! TGIF and HAPPY 2016! We’re starting the new year off right with a new feature with the fantastic Kristina Werner! I just love the way she watercolored this Stepping Stones background and made the Big Hugs die POP with some added sparkle using glitter paper! For the whole run through, be sure to watch the video she kindly provided.
Enjoy!

Such a clever way of using a background stamp. Love the final results. Thanks so much for a beautiful card and very informative video.
Watercolor always intrigues me.
Fabulous card. Love those watercolor circles.
Lovely! The colors are just wonderful!
It is so much fun to watch how you create your cards. Interesting how you followed the diagonal line from the U with your “sending” sentiment. Those little details make such a difference, Great card.
The glittery sentiment just finishes this beautifully watercolored card in a perfect way!
The card is so colorful!
Love K. Werner’s beautiful card!
