In searching for some card ideas on Pinterest and You Tube I started watching card-making videos for ideas and techniques - and have become hooked. I was impressed with the quality and variety of coordinating products from Stampin' Up! and became an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in May of 2017.
Here are several more alternatives I made inspired by the May 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Manly Moments - by Stampin' Up!.

Directions:
--Cut all Cardstock pieces per list.
--Use a Stampin' Spritzer filled with Water & spray the
Watercolor paper.

more blue than green - you need to experiment to find what looks
right for you. Spritz more water if need for all the
crystals to dissolve and you can add more crystals as well if
desired.
--The mat needs to be set aside to completely dry or you can use
the Heat Tool to speed up the process.
--When dry, you can do the heat embossing. First
dust the card with powder from the Embossing Buddy, then stamp
the trees and sentiment in Versamark ink.
--Sprinkle on the White embossing powder. Then use the Heat Tool
to melt the embossing powder. Let it cool.
--Optional - Then I trimmed the watercolor mat to 4"x6" as sometimes
the edges of the card fray from all the water. Trimmed the GAG
mat as well to 4-1/2"-6/1/2".
--Optional - I sprayed the top mat with Shimmer Spray* to give
the card some sparkle and shine. Let it dry completely.
