The CAS215 is a color challenge: Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink. These are great colors for the birthday card I wanted to make for my mom whose BD is in April - the flower of the month is the Sweet Pea. I stamped the image with Versamark and embossed it with white embossing powder on watercolor paper. I then painted the flowers with Pretty In Pink and Certainly Celery inks, using different amounts of water for shading. Then I watercolored the background with Tempting Turquoise. Before I cut the image out with an Oval Nestability I inked up my brush with more TT ink and splattered it around. I matted the oval on a TT scalloped oval Nestability. The card base is a Fabriano card with some lovely texture.

What beautiful sweet peas! I will have to go check things out at Paper Trey. This stamp is gorgeous. I love the pretty way you colored it.
