My favorite stamp set of the release is this GORGEOUS   Alleluia Lilies Stamp Set.  Love the size options of the images and they are perfect for coloring!

I did some no line coloring using the Ink On 3 Fade Out Ink and Copics.  The palm leaves are heat embossed with Gina K's Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder.  All Images were fussy cut out.  

I had a panel in my stash using the True Beauty Stamp Set that I just did not know what to do with- I die cut a frame out with it as the colors-lime green, green and navy- worked perfectly with this image. The flower placement and sentiment placement were determined and the sentiment was stamped in dark green ink.  The flowers were adhered to the card front with the top flower being popped up on foam tape. 

This next card is probably my favorite of the bunch~

This time the lilies were stamped with IO Black Ink on watercolor paper and colored with my favorite-yes, Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  The flowers were then fussy cut out.  I used a panel I had in my stash, added a bit of vellum behind the lilies and finished it with a sentiment from the Keep in Touch Stamp Set and some SSS Moonshine Sequins.  The stamen were colored with a white gel pen.  

Here is a simple card using the same Alleluia Lilies image.  I have really been trying to go 'loose' with my watercoloring-loose just evades me!  Here is my best shot!

This was also done with Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  This time I used Canson Mixed Media paper to keep the color super vibrant as it does not soak into the paper like it does on watercolor paper.  The sentiment is from the Birthday Wordfetti Stamp Set.  A few  Studio Katia Summer Fusion sequins finish the card.  

Here is your hop list.  Enjoy!
