Shimmer Watercolor + Neat & Tangled and Cosmo Cricket Collaboration

Hi friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you, sharing a fun set of cards that feature the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Art Deck papers, along with some of the newest Neat & Tangled stamps and dies!

I created three different cards using the Art Deck papers and I even have a video tutorial for you, showing how I did it! Each card shares the same technique, which is shimmer watercoloring with Distress Inks.

In the video below, I’ll be showing you how I created my own shimmer watercolors to paint over the emboss-resist patterns that are printed onto the Art Deck papers.

This first card features this stunning flower, which looks amazing once colored in with the watercolors.

I paired the flower with the new Doily Tag die and a sentiment from the Celebrate stamp set (both new products from Neat & Tangled).

My second card showcases the fun “dream big” constellation-styled sentiment that had a ton of gold dots surrounding it. This immediately made me decide I needed to create a galaxy background for this paper.

I paired this paper with the Scored Shapes dies from Neat & Tangled… the dimension of these stars popping off the galaxy looks fabulous!

My final card features this encouragement quote that has some beautiful gold foiling on some of the letters.

To see how all of these cards came together, be sure to watch the video below! If you enjoy, please give it a big thumbs up and subscribe to my channel for more inspiration!
