I was saved by a video by Sandy Allnock. She showed how to make multiples of Christmas cards. Boy, did I need this. First I made a couple sheets of watercolor backgrounds. Since I didn't have the same supplies, I used what I had available. I used Arches watercolor paper and Peerless watercolor papers.
After allowing these to dry overnight, I cut out 5 card size pieces from each large sheet with a Sizzix die.
The next step was to turn these into cards by stamping a sentiment and then layering the cards onto gold paper and a white card base.
Only one is these has the sentiment embossed in white, the others are in gold embossing powder. I'll show the one with white below:
Here is one of the gold ones below:
I had 2 pieces that weren't working with the previous treatment, so I stamped a different sentiment in black and added a black layer.
I have a start, but will need to make more. I hope I can get them mailed soon.
