I have already shared one of the beautiful projects we created to celebrate World Card Making Day during the free, virtual Craft-Along event that Stampin' Up! so generously hosted.  This is another project, which uses the Cottage Wreaths Bundle and a fun watercolouring technique to create a lovely friendship card.

Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set + Country Wreaths Dies Bundle (159659) - $109.75

To create the variegated colours on the wreath and bow we used a wash of colour on cardstock before die-cutting.  To do this, we squeezed the closed Old Olive and Flirty Flamingo stamp pads so ink pooled in the lid then picked up the ink with a Water Painter and washed it over Shimmery White cardstock.  Once dry, we die-cut the watercolour-washed cardstock with the wreath and bow dies to add to this stunning card.

The Cottage Wreaths stamp set and coordinating Country Wreaths Dies are such a versatile bundle that is great to use all-year-round for many different occasions.
