Hi, crafty friends! It’s May here today sharing a Happy New Year card. I was planning to create a colorful watercolor card using outline images from Adore You stamp set.
Then I realized that my coloring skills got rusty since I haven't played with watercolors for the past few months. After several attempts at watercoloring, I decided not to color them but leave as is.
Instead, I added a touch of gold to my card with gold sequins, threads, and heat embossed word after stamping my florals/leaves in black. What do you think? Please tell me I did well! ;)
By the way, I white embossed the sentiment HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Happy Dreams Stamp Set and gold embossed the word celebrate from the Super Script Stamp Set.
Before I go, I wanted to tell you that this Adore You Stamp Set is perfect for any cardmaking techniques – especially for coloring. Here are a few examples from our amazing designers and guests:

I am intimidated by stamp images that seem to require expert “colouring” skills (which I don’t have!), so this card is a great reminder that these floral images look just as gorgeous coloured – or not. A beautiful card, May, that has put this stamp set on my Wish List :-)
Yes, you did right. This blue and white color scheme is one of my all-time favorites, and your gold touches are Perfect!
So pretty May – I was the lucky recipient of this stamp set (designed by you:) for Christmas. I think I just got inspired!
Gorgeous stamp set and card.
Such a beautiful card May! Love that deep navy blue combined with the gold!
I love this the way it is.. I am glad you didn’t color it and just used the little color in the sentiment and sequins to complete it.. Stunning. I love it.
This card is so beautiful May, I love this set! As a matter of fact, all of the cards are beautiful! TFS and Happy New Year!
