Quick and Simple Handmade Card - How I watercolored the FOREVER GOLD LASER-CUT PAPER from Stampin Up

This quick and simple handmade card is made with the FOREVER GOLD LASER-CUT PAPER from Stampin Up. I wanted to add some extra interest and depth to one of the background pieces and so I added some water coloring to the inside of the leaves. I really love how it all came together. I hope you enjoy this handmade card tutorial and come back for more. I would love to see your finished creations that are inspired by this tutorial!

1- Glue the gold background die cut piece to the Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.

2- Use a water painter to paint the insides of the leaves. I used Garden Green in the larger leaves and Pear Pizzazz for the smaller ones. Create depth by adding more color to the inside areas of the leaves.

TIP: You can use a little rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth to remove any ink or glue on the gold piece.

3- Adhere to the center of the cardbase with dimensionals.

4- Tie a bow with 8” of Gold Twine. Add it to the left bottom area of the gold background. Adhere a 2 ½” strip of the Weave Ribbon over the bow with liquid adhesive.

TIP: Tie two knots where you want to cut the Gold Twine, then cut between them so your twine doesn't fray.

5- Cut out a greeting from the Well Written die set in both Mossy Meadow and Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere the Mossy Meadow over the Basic Black and add over the Weave Ribbon.

All Done!
