Watercolor and Metal

Watercolor and Metal?  How funny does that sound!  LOL  Today's Dazzling Divas Design Challenge was creating a project using the photo below.  Unfortunately, the colors didn't photograph very well because this color is VERY vivid blue!  This is a cool new set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  I really love the simplicity of the two-step using the watercolor stamps.  I'm thinking you're going to be seeing a lot of this step!  If you're looking for ideas for the stamps and accessories in the Occasions Catalog, check out the Winter 2014 Online Class! at StampAcademy.com  Lots of great ideas with unique projects.

• The Black Diamond Metal was embossed using the Dots Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
