Stef is our hostess this week and she has chosen Melon Mambo, Grapefruit Grove, and Blushing Bride. With flowers for dessert. This was a good reason to get out this stamp that hasn't seen any love in a little while. I was brave and decided to watercolor it--with markers of course--I'm not that brave! I did my best at approximating the colors using my Tombow markers. So I stamped it with Versafine Clair on Fabriano hot press paper and colored with my Tombows and washed the color around with a wet brush. I'm happy with this version of watercoloring. In the end the background was too white, so I colored the top and bottom of the paper and dragged the color towards the middle. Finished with a splatter of white paint. My version of Melon Mambo was very bright, so I carried that into the bright ribbon that I tied around the panel. Then I cut a very small tag and used a very small sentiment on it. Tied it on with some pink and white twine.

This is a really fun flowery card, Jen! I love how the flowers seem to be dancing (maybe to some lively music). Wonderful presentation for these pretty colors~
