Hi bloggers! I was having a play with the new Pearlescent Watercolours fr today's card. I used the
Turquoise Cascade and Lilac Sapphire water colour inks and randomly spread them across a piece of white card. Once dry, I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles to cut a wide frame out of the card. I cut the Celebrate die out of the centre of the card. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame to raise it, then added it to a piece of white card. I added the inner and outer piece of water coloured card back into place around the frame. I added a black shadow to the
Celebrate, then added mounting foam to the back and seated back into the place it was cut out from. I stamped the rest of the sentiment and added it with mounting foam. Using the
Petal Pocket Flowers, I made two flowers out of white card, glittered them and added centres that were cut from an extra bit of the watercoloured card. I seated the flowers in the corner and added
Lace Edged Leaves as accents around them. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Wow. I need to read your instructions again but the overall pattern looks really good, like a physcadelic cow lol it's whacky I really like it Sue xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful creation today and love the watercolour pearlescent, I have about 6 or 8 of them already and they really are brilliant, would highly recommend them. The frame goes perfectly with 'Celebrate' - let's hope we can all celebrate soon if and when this pandemic is under control.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Very arty looking card and great to see the inks in use x

Good Morning Sue and all.
A lovely card once more and the sentiment may well be just waiting to be used.
The colours are lovely. The design is great.
Have a nice day.

Hello Sue
This is so different and unusual and using darker colours could easily be adapted for male cards.Take care everyone x
Hi Sue
Happy Wednesday everyone x
I would think that there is probably quite a lot of sparkle from the pearlescent watercolours that doesn’t show up in these pictures. I love this background and you would never be able to get exactly the same so this is definitely a one of a kind! Beautiful colours x

Good Morning Sue. What a great fun card. I just love the colours ... And STEPHANIE ... Ohhh ... You made me laugh ... I get the psychedelic cow bit. You are so funny.
And yes a celebration card is what we all need ... something to lift us and cheer us up. That's what this card did to me when I stepped into particraft this morning. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE.
Kind regards Ann Leeds in Leeds
I’m sorry Sue but I don’t like this one Maybe it’s because I’m looking at it on a tiny phone screen…
Hi SUE
A very different style of card today very good for the the inspiration and colours l wonder what it would be like if it was embossed.

Wow, what a powerful background. I just love those colours. Another product to look out for when I eventually go into a craft shop! I must admit I am missing all the craft shows. Thank you Sue for all your inspiration.
Great background technique, creating a modern contemporary look. WakeyL
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Morning Sue, a fab card, love the very modern look of it. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

a teenage boy!! You can use any sentiment
as well.
Stay safe,

Hi Sue
The turquoise and lilac pearlescent watercolour inks make a very striking colourful background for your card and the floral design at the side is so you
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue,
This card certainly made me come wide awake, certainly a teenager would love it - but having said that, I do as well.

Sorry but I don’t like this card. It looks as if it went wrong to me. We all have different tastes and this would suit some but not me I’m afraid, sorry.

Hi Sue and everyone a very beautiful card today, lovely watercolour effect.
Hugs to all who pop in today

Hi Sue, a very striking card and one that I think I would have to see IRL to get the effect from the Pearlescent Watercolours, it may then appeal to me more.
Frances
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x

Morning Sue, gosh this is a bit different, but fabulous, love the background.
Hi Sue
I do like this card. Love the colours and what you have used, but I would like it better if the frame contained the colour and it had a white edge, sorry I like things a bit neater, but then we are all different.
Love the psychedelic cow analogy Steph.
Love Helen Xxx
Love the colours of this card but I’m not sure the effect is quite for me. Lovely design overall though. X
Wonderful card Sue, it is so amazing what one can create when you are "playing" with something new!! Not really my style but still very eye catching!
Hi Sue
You always give us so many ideas in your blog. I have these inks but have yet to use them. I know I know !!
This card just gives me the urge to go get them out and have a play
Thank you Sue
Please take care my friend
Hugs Theresa G
So different than yesterday's card. That one calm and peaceful , this one loud and powerful. I'm glad you played with the new Pearlescent watercolors and shared the result. Something to try in the future. Thank you, Sue.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
