First impressions: Altenew Watercolor Wonders

Good Friday to ya!
 I simply swooned when I first saw the images in the Altenew Watercolor Wonders set...so many possibilities for making impressionistic blooms!
When the set arrived in the mail I felt intimidated and just looked at it for over a week:/ I hate when that happens.
But, last night I dove in, threw caution to the wind and stamped at will!
It was rewarding to see what came from each layer. And in the end I was pleased with the outcome.

Here are two cards I made from the reckless, care-free stamping session:)

 I started with more Summery colors.

And ended with Autumnal bliss!
I used an image from Golden Garden for the background panel.

I  encourage you to to get those stamp sets out that are sitting there intimidating you.
 and JUST start Playing! 

Have a GREAT weekend!
LauraJane:)

Both cards are embellished with various sequins, 
border dies, and Clear Wink of Stella,


The colors and layers of the second card were inspired by this month's challenge at Altenew: Places Abroad, United Kingdom
