Really great idea! Thank you!

[@marilynbarnick3013]

I’ve got to try this. Haven’t made any cards cuz I’m moving my craft room upstairs!!! I’ll try when that’s done but it’s quite a process cuz it’s physically difficult for me. Love this idea!

[@pamherold1494]

Great video! I have recently retired and now have finally found time to do the "me" things I have been planning for. I just found some of my reinkers including some 4 oz. bottles of Ranger Ink. I'm not sure they even make them anymore. This will be fun to try out.

[@cathylancaster5837]

Such a beautiful card! You gave such clear instructions and I enjoyed your video. I would guess 29 minutes to make this card. Cathy

[@cardsbyshannonlee]

Hey Cathy, you have to click on the entry form in the description box below the video to submit your entry for the giveaway... hint - guess higher...lol

[@bethdelmonte]

This is the first time I've ever seen this technique. It's so original and unique. I'm excited to see what I can do with other colored backgrounds. So exciting. Thank you xo

[@mongedagain]

Love your idea, tip for glueing sentiment die cuts, I put double sided tape on the back of the card then die cut it, perfect sticky back and no mess

[@freedomofreligion3248]

A great technique! I've seen it before, but absolutely couldn't remember what it was you were going to do! You kept the secret very well, w/o seeming to! Pretty card. New sub.

What a gorgeous card! I’ve never seen this technique. 🎄🎄🎄

[@Cheryl3356]

Love how vivid the colors looked it was just a wow card. So you have the front of the watercolor paper to the bumpout side of the embossing folders. This was so cool. Tjank you Shannon

[@cardsbyshannonlee]

yes, you are correct. You put the side of the watercolor paper that you want to be the front against the bumpy side of the embossing folder. Thanks so much for you lovely comment!
