I took a pre-printed water color paper. I water colored the flowers blue and the leaves green. I painted with gold metallic rub. I put glue on the flowers and added glitter. The letters on my card spell out the one word phrase... JOY. I used a cereal box. I cut two of each letter using alphabet dies. I glued them together and colored them with a black sharpie marker. I ran the letters through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I used metallic rub over the top to bring out the embossing. It was really hard to capture the sparkle of the glitter. If you go to my blog you can see a short video that does a better job than still photograph. Check that out here: Mississippi Mcgyver

MariLynn, this is a stunning card with your beautifully done raised letters of JOY(TFS) and the touches of gold among your watercolored flowers and leaves.
