Have you tried the Prima Marketing Metallic Accents Semi-Watercolor  Paints yet?  These water activated paints are perfect for creating backgrounds or adding details to your creations.  

Using Prima Marketing Watercolor Paper Pad, I created 2 different backgrounds by mixing the paints together.  I randomly chose the colors I wanted to use then painted the watercolor paper, creating 2 different designs.

Next, I used the Memory Box die - Tanglewood Frame to die cut Bazzill Buttermint cardstock and Bazzill Easter Grass cardstock.  Using Tattered Lace Detail Glue, I glued the die cut panels to the painted backgrounds.

The panels were then adhered to the card fronts.

 Tilda with Butterfly Jeans  was stamped twice with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then colored with Copic Markers.  One image was fussy cut and the other was die cut using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die.

Thanks was die cut  from Lawn Fawn  Thanks Line Border Die and used as a shelf for the fussy cut image.  A second die was placed across the rectangle die cut image.

Finally, I added Nuvo Crystal Dots about the die cut panels.
