Hugs Are the Answer...
  Hello and welcome friends!  Today’s card features this fun BG stamp from SimonSaysStamp (circle doodle), sentiment stamp/die cut from Avery Elle (simply said Hugs), and watercoloring using Daniel Smith watercolors.  To start, I stamped BG onto a piece of Strathmore hot press watercolor paper, before heat embossing using SimonSaysStamp extra fine rose gold embossing powder.  I then began watercoloring by first adding a light wash of color/water, going back over building intensity of color, drying in between layers.  Next, I die cut “hugs” using various colors of cardstock, then stamped sentiment and heat embossed using matching BG heat embossing.  To finish, I trimmed sentiment, assembled elements and adhered to card base, using fun foam for “hugs”, and adding rose gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!  Please note: this card has been submitted to the current SimonSaysStamp Flickr Challenge #92.
