MIX228, Watercolor Flowers. I rubbed my SN watercolors on a flower stamp onto Yupo, where it just beaded up and did nothing. So I spritzed with water, and my flowers and leaves went everywhere. I promise you, there was a flower in the beginning of this card. I stamped lacy doilies in distress Inks and they smudged terribly, so I wiped them off, and a very light rather nice image remained of the stamps. I dropped alcohol Inks on acetate, and when it dried I punched two butterflies and added them to the card with a green brad. I stamped two flourishes, and then wrapped twine around twice. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz pad, and the card was matted with dark orange cs and then added to the base Kraft card on dimensionals. Thanks so much for looking. Watercolors are definitely not my metier!

I can relate to your frustration as this is pretty much what I end up with too when using the process you described. ( I think no matter how I try, I get too much water on the subject!!??!) Still there is a very ethereal illusion of a bloom peeking out of the card and if it wasn't a hibiscus when you started - that's what it makes me think of now!
