A Trio of Lia Griffith Watercolored Cards

Hello. Today I have a trio of cards to share with you, each one combining 3x3" clear sets from our Lia Griffith collection with simple watercoloring.

My first card features the Enjoy Fruit by Lia set, along with a sentiment from Spring Hello by Lia. For this card, I stamped the fruits on some watercolor paper with Versamark, added White Embossing Powder and heat set. Then I painted the fruits and background. Next, I stamped and white embossed the sentiment on vellum, trimmed it down and stitched it to the watercolor panel.

My second card features the Just for You by Lia set. I stamped the flowers and sentiments in Black Ink and Versamark, clear embossed and painted with watercolors.

To create this card, I first die cut a tag from watercolor paper, then stamped the sentiment in Black Ink. I added some stitching and splattered the tag with shimmery mist. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the fox and ice cream, painted them, and hand cut them out. I adhered the images to the tag, and added a few Pool gemstones for extra sparkle.
