Thanks Kim for hosting the Ways to Use it challenge! I LOVE watercolor paper....great texture and it can be colored so many ways! I took the challenge to the extreme and used watercolor paper entirely, even the faux brads. The card and main panel were colored in More Mustard with a sponge dauber, the Elegant Eggplant layer also colored with a sponge dauber. Not very visible, but used the leaves to stamp the background of the card. The image was stamped twice, watercolored with aquapainter, and one layer popped up with foam tape. Added paper piercing, ribbon, and 'faux brads' (made with sponged watercolor paper and gel pen). This was super fun! Thanks for looking!

Holy Moley Angella! Your colors are delcicious! I can't imagine doing fine cut-work like this, but so glad you did it. The paper punching, popping- yikes, it all works perfectly to make a gorgeous card. Over the top my friend!
