  1. Emboss resist is my favourite! And add watercolors to that and it’s perfect! Kelly always amazes me with her cards.

  2. Ha! Even your nail polish matches – love the colors! Black and white stripe edges are showing up everywhere – love it! Thanks for the inspiration!

  3. Great tip to add colored pencil! Also, how to clean off the embossed areas. I just wonder why you colored in the word “kindness” when you ended up covering it up with black? Love this look and need to revisit it. Thanks for all your sweet inspiration!

  4. I love seeing this technique in again. A great reminder that sometimes you can make a quick card that is very pretty just with a little heat embossing and a bit of ink. Of course it helps if you have a great stamp like this one. Beautifully done.

  5. Beautiful card and colors. I make cards and do not send them either. Once in awhile I will mail one but most of them I keep them. Cardmaking is very relaxing and time for myself. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Thanks for the inspiration, Kelly. Love the card. Just starting to try some water coloring so really enjoy watching your process.

  7. I have all those pretty colors! I’d love to try to CASE this just for the practice alone. Your card is gorgeous!

  8. You put a lot of work into the watercolored Kind word, I was surprised you ended up covering it up. Either way it’s beautiful.

  9. Gorgeous flowers and bright spring colors. I am hoping that maybe spring is finally showing signs of coming here. At least I am hoping for no more snow. Love your card Kelly! Thanks for all the tips.

  10. I love this stamp set and, funnily enough, just made a card very similar to this! However, I didn’t layer the KIND on top…think I’ll go back and do that. I always learn something new in your videos.

  11. I love emboss resist, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried it with watercolors. I’m definitely going to give this a try. Your card is absolutely gorgeous.

  12. Beautiful card, love the pretty colours! Haven’t tried emboss resist with watercolours, thanks for the inspiration!
