This bouquet is one of my current favorite stamps but I've forced my self to set it aside for awhile or that is all anyone would see from me. But this happy color combination seemed like the perfect time to give it some play time again. When I first started water coloring the clear embossed image I thought it might never turn out because the details didn't seem to want to come through. I persevered and kept adding more shades of Granny Apple Green and once I cut it out with its die there suddenly seemed to be just enough definition.

BEAUTIFUL card and your reist watercoloring is so wonderfully done, Chris. Cutting the image out and popping it up gives a wonderful dimension to your card.
