I am your hostess this week and I have chosen cherry cobbler, always artichoke, and pool party. For dessert: some bling! Since I was watercoloring, I subbed Zig marker colors as close to the colors as I could.
On a separate piece of watercolor cs, I colored the peaceful wishes stamps with Zig markers, and then spritzed with water before stamping. I did go in with a wet paintbrush and add a bit more water in some places, and a bit more definition in others (with added color). I embossed the sentiment in black, splattered with diluted inks, and also with diluted white acrylic paint. I added sequins for the finishing touch, and matted in cherry before attaching to the card

I think Peaceful Wishes has to be my favorite SU Christmas set. Love what you did with the softness of the branches and the watercolored background. So lovely!
