Winnie & Walter Birthday Celebrations- Part 2

Hello friends.
This is the part 2 of the Winnie and Walter Birthday Celebrations challenge. I have two more cards to share. The linky closes in just an hour, so this is going to be a very quick post.
My first card is based on the Gradient Challenge by Vanessa. Here's a look at what I have created :




To create my gradient, I have used different shades of yellow and orange Distress inks and stenciled the background using the MFT Moroccan Tile stencil. After I stenciled it, I sprayed the background with plain water to create the watercolor effect. I have done two-toned stamping on my flowers which are from the Winnie & Walter- The Big, the Bold and Extras set. The sentiment is from the Winnie & Walter- The Big, the Bold and You stamp set. The leaves have been colored using Inka gold after I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad. Everything has been popped on foam dots to give dimension to my card.

Supplies used :
Cardstock base- Campap
Die- Paper Smooches Dots and Dashes Borders.
Inks- Versafine Onyx Black ink pad, Distress inks- Squeezed lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Dried Marigold.
MFT Moroccan Tile Stencil, Inka Gold, Prima Epiphany Ephemera Pack, Sequins.


Challenges entered :
 Just us Girls challenge- Sentiment as the focal point.
 Crafts 4 Eternity- No pattern paper.
The Crafters cafe challenge- Make your own background.
SSS- Anything Goes


My second card is based on Lea's Mood Board challenge :

My take on the mood board :



I was inspired by the various elements of the mood board -The polka dot tissue, the scattered glitter and the soft pink gloves. To create the polka dot banner, I stenciled Inka Gold onto a vellum paper using a Heidi Swapp stencil. The woodgrain circle, I have die-cut and embossed using a woodgrain embossing folder. The doily behind, I have watercolored using Spun Sugar Distress re-inker, scattered some punched out glittered hearts and have placed a scalloped border behind the circle. The sentiment has been stamped and fussy-cut from the Winnie and Walter- The Big, the Bold and You stamp set which has been gold heat embossed and adhered to the card. I have coated the flowers and the background with Stickles Platinum, but unfortunately it doesn't show through the picture. The background has been stamped using a Hero Arts/Basic Grey background stamp using Spun Sugar Distress ink which is also not showing through. :(
I'm also entering this in Gayatri's CAS + Freestyle/ Collage challenge
