My design idea started with the sentiment. It reminded me of the stamp set I have with flowers going from a bud to fully bloomed.
This design turned out just the way I wanted! Yet another sample of how CAS can work on a card with watercoloring. Complete happiness in my craft world
I stamped the flowers and sentiment with StazOn Midi Claret ink on Strathmore Bristol 100lb Vellum.
After I painted the flowers, I waited for them to dry completely and then added some highlights with white acrylic paint. I mat the piece flat on pink cardstock, then adhered to the cardbase with foam adhesive. For the card base, I stamped the leaves with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.
