This is part of the Blog Hop celebrating the new Metallic Watercolors. If you are hopping from the beginning you should be arriving from the blog of Nathalie DeSousa! I can't wait to see all the inspiration with this new product:))
As you will see the Shimmer and Glimmer in the watercolors is AH-MAZING!! I love the subtle hint of sparkle and these are PERFECT FOR making SPLATTERS to finish any card with that kiss of metallic shine! All 14 colors look great on dark cardstock as well as regular watercolor paper.
Let's get to my projects:

Once I get going with the String pulling art, it's difficult to stop. For this one, I fussy cut the STRING ART plume and layered it onto panel of Washi tape. Then dyed a ribbon to coordinate using the watercolor brush markers.

The string art blows me away. You make this look simple, although I am sure a lot of practice is needed to create your beautiful pieces the metallic paint really adds to your creations. Thank you for sharing.

I love the look of these metallic paints on black, but I think your pomegranate card is gorgeous using them, too!
Your pomegranate was beautiful technique! And I think that I may need to try the string method at least once! I enjoyed both of the videos you shared. Thank you!
I have never seen the string pulling technique, they really do look like Calla Lilies, and the shimmer of the metallic water color paints is gorgeous
Fascinated watching you perform the string technique. The results are mesmerizingly gorgeous.
String!!! Oh my, just BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to try this. Thank you for the demo!!
Your pomegranate card in water color is awesome. But the star of the day is the string art. I have never seen it done before and your video was very helpful. Those three cards were exquisite.
Love these new water colors!
Wow, incredible painting and perfectly stunning cards!
So beautiful, thanks for sharing. 💙
Holy cow, those colours on the black card stock are AWESOME Ms. LauraJane! I do love your first card the best as it has more petals on it but you're right - there's something addictive about just watching you do your string art, so I can't wait to see how it'll be when I try it for myself. All three cards are just SOO beautiful. Definitely a must have for my stash.
I wasn't such a huge fan of that pomegranate stamp set until I saw how you did this card with the metallic paints, it looks almost good to eat!. LOL. Thanks for taking the time to share your wonderful creations.
Beautiful cards. Very intense colors. Love them all.
Omg I can only say Black Magic! The blues are hauntingly beautiful on the black cardstock.
