A big congrats to MaryJo, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery & always leaves the sweetest comments. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the watercoloring & floral centerpiece but I used a two part watercolor rose, heat embossed the bg & partially watercolored it.
On my card, I inked the solid part of the stamp w/ reds, yellows & greens, misted it then stamped it. After it dried, I stamped the outline part w/ black & die cut it & attached it to fun foam. The background was white embossed onto the backside of watercolor paper (it's a little smoother). I started watercoloring it in the roses, got to a little past half way down, & decided I liked the rest of it unpainted. I used a white frame & a piece of vintage white vellum behind the rose to give it a little separation from the bg.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & product links: The Write Stuff

Stunning card, Julie! LOVE the partial coloring of the BG! The lightweight vellum overlay is such a nice way to enhance the main rose! Amazing coloring!

Julie, this is sooooo pretty! I love that you didn't finish the watercoloring on the background it just fades at the bottom. So pretty. The main flower is just so well done and really stands out with the lovely background. Killer pretty card, my friend. Faved of course. Hugz

Julie, this is stunning. First I love the gorgeous floral background you created and I love your color choices.
The rose looks so beautiful with the frame and the vellum layer. Wow! Gorgeous!
