Me, I grabbed the stunning Fancy Butterfly I haven't used anywhere near enough and my Misti to create four heat embossed card fronts on watercolor paper. I used the sparkling snowflake embossing powder from Ranger, and I think next time I'll go back to my Hero Arts White for a crisper image. Each card had three Distress Inks smooshed onto them, and at first I couldn't tell how I felt about them. Now I'm in love!
I had so much fun coming up with different color combinations.

For the sentiments, I trimmed down my watercolor paper slightly to measure 4"x5.25" and then stamped with VersaFine Black ink for a dark, crisp finish. I used my Misti again in case I needed to restamp - the texture of the watercolor paper can wreak havoc on sentiments.
I created (4) top-folding, A2 cards out of coordinating cardstocks and attached my watercolor panels with fun foam for some height. A scattering of sequins and these cards were done!
My supply list is below - it's longer than most because, well, four cards! LOL Keep in mind that the So Suzy Stamps store will be closed from Friday, July 24th until Friday, July 31st because of the card retreat...which I will be attending!! Make sure you're following So Suzy Stamps on Facebook and Instagram to see all of our shenanigans.
There's still time to enter our July Challenge as well - we only have one entry so far! Get those ink pads out, people - there's a $15 gift certificate up for grabs!
All right, Happy Crafting!
