I mixed techniques and you possibly can't tell right away that the vase and the leaves are actually water colored. Everything was stamped on white cardstock, that I then distressed with Old Paper ink mostly. I distressed the Zinnias quite a bit, I wanted to dull their brightness, so that they could match the vintage feel of the whole postcard.
I added some clear embossing powder to the sentiment and the background stamped pattern, and because I used pigment ink there was no need of embossing ink.
And to finish this 5 x 7 card, I used some ribbon and pearls that definitely gave the design the final touch of vintage it needed.
