Blackberry Bliss Hello

Over the weekend, my upline held a team meeting and at that meeting there was a card swap. The theme of the swap was monochromatic, or one color with white. I decided to use a color that I love, Blackberry Bliss and just make a simple card to showcase it.

When you watercolor with Blackberry Bliss, it is the most beautiful thing ever!!! I was delightfully surprised by how bright Blackberry Bliss became with a little water. I actually heat embossed the sentiment from the Hello There stamp set in white and then watercolored over it. The embossing resists the ink; just wipe off the excess ink with a damp cloth and you are left with a crisp white image with some beautiful coloring!

I added some Blackberry Bliss flowers, from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, to add a little bit of embellishment. I curled up the petals with my Bone Folder so that they literally pop off the card. Some stitching around the edge really finished the card for me, but remember you can always skip it.
