I stamped my images onto watercolor paper. I used my marker to add in a couple more stems and blooms in the center. I then followed Lydia's tutorial to do the stamp etching technique which is basically using a flicking motion with a fine point marker to add detail to an open line stamp image.
Today, I watercolored the images. I smooshed my ink pads onto a piece of acetate and added a bit of water and used a wet brush to watercolor the images. I spattered with the leftover inks. I fussy cut around this. I used spatter stamps to add spatter onto the base of the card. I used some of the watered down ink as well as stamping from the ink pads. I also carefully inked up the single sentiment and stamped it onto the base.
I have close ups of the etching process on this post as well as photos of the coloring on my blog.

Lovely! Your spattering looks so perfect (sigh)! Love that you echoed the colors of the flowers for your spatters.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
