My card started out with this piece of a water colored project Trevor had done that was sitting out on my desk. He LOVES anything to do with art, especially painting, and it's so fun to see what he creates. I loved the colors he put together and thought it would make a great background. Next I stamped the flower from Beautiful Things on vellum and embossed in white. I colored with Copic markers on the backside and then cut it out with the coordinating Beautiful Flowers Die Set.
The sentiment is stamped in rich razzleberry and island indigo onto a Stitched Pennants die cut and I layered a vellum cut out from the Springtime Stitches Die Set below it. A bit of white twine, some Shine Bright sequins and a whole lot of embossed and distressed panels finish things off.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic start to your week.

What a beautiful card and a lovely color combo!
Oh, Julee, how cool that Trevor made the watercolor background! I love it and love the colors, and what a great start for your card. I love the background and your beautiful flower that I love. Gorgeous card! Big hugs!
How awesome that you used Trevor's painting on your card - I bet he was excited :o) Simply a gorgeous card!
Love your card and I also love the background! Tell Trevor he's a great artist! What a great idea to use his page as a background. I imagine he was really excited to see his work on a card.
Beautiful card you and Trevor made. Love the colors and great design.
Beautiful card, I love Trevor's water colored piece, looks so pretty with the flower :)
I'll have to say Trevor's color palette is a real winner as this card is drop dead gorgeous! :-)
Gorgeous! I really like the layering/distressing of the same embossing - and the pretty colored panel.
Julee, that's so special to have that watercolour piece to work your magic on top of:) You have such a wonderful, and inspirational style. Love how you did those flowers on vellum.
What beautiful cards and Trevor's watercolouring is amazing! You must be so proud!

Julie your card is gorgeous. I have a Trevor too who is 20 yrs old and in Army Reserves. When he was younger he loved to help me with projects and I have to admit that he is MUCH better at using and blending Copics than my daughter. She is now a teacher and can create amazing bulletin boards though.
OH, Julee, I adore this collaboration! I have a piece of cardstock that my daughter had fun making watercolor drops all over and it's so pretty...but I can't seem to make myself cut it up! Maybe I will now! Love how you melded all the elements in this card. Thanks always for the inspiration and the chance to win more of your amazing designs. :)
Wow Julee, this is fantastic. It is crisp yet shabby and I just love all the texture layering and painting . This card has everything. Thanks for the inspiration.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!
Have a blessed day,

I love the way you layered this card. I need to try that idea with some of my embossing folders.
