This is the first of four anniversary cards I need this month. This one is going to an older couple married 62 years. Wow! I hope they know this card is made with love, because I truly love making cards and giving them to people who hopefully enjoy them....like my sister, who by the way gets most of my cards. The dogs get sick....I send a card. Get the picture? There is always a reason to make a card. Don't you agree? Now on to the card....
The main card is dark blue linen, in the picture it looks black. The next layer is a golden linen cs. I then took white cs and did the negative cb with the swiss dots using faded jeans distress inks. *this was my first try at that*
Stamped my image on wc paper, colored it using the Art Impression Way on their DVD. Which is taking your wc pen, brushing it on palette paper, take your damp brush and work the color to what you want, then apply to image by dabbing. *or something like that*. Sponged the edges, then layered it top.
I added a few more flowers on the bottom hoping to add a little extra touch. TFL :0)

Your watercoloring is fabulous! It's truly, well, watery, for lack of a better description. Very artistic. And I love the flowers in the lower corner too.
