Faith's challenge was to use watercolors and use brown. I reached for the coolest flower to watercolor, this huge thing! It's gorgeous but hard to incorporate into a card, so I try to use it when I can. Faith, I did incorporate brown, honest. I used Creamy Caramel for all the big leaves but then added some yellow and greens. When this dried overnight, the caramel faded quite a bit. I also spritzed this with shimmer mist so I was afraid to go back and add more brown over top of that. I do like the way the flower turned out in the end. I did incorporate brown as I embossed with brown EP prior to watercoloring. Some DP and satin pink ribbon finishes this with a base card of Creamy Caramel.
What do you think? Thanks for stopping by.

I got this stamp a little while ago, but haven't used it, yet. Your beautiful card is just the inspiration I need to give this gorgeous image a try. :-) I love the soft colours you've used, and the way you layered the flower.
