Love these colors but for my watercolor wash background, I used a few drops of reinkers diluted a bit with water, and since I had no reinker for calypso coral I used cameo coral. The die on the bottom is just the very top of the olive branch die, cut 3 times. I used a Jennifer McGuire technique of putting my cs on the edge of my plates - just at the point that I wanted to stop cutting. Then I used an exact knife or scissors to cut across the bottom between the branches. Spattered black splats with a paintbrush.
Love the watercolor wash you did on your card. The colors you've used with the black really make it stand out. Thanks for sharing with us at the Friday Mashup.

I love this card! I miss Cameo Coral--it is such a pretty color! Love the colors, the black sentiment and the little spatters. So cute! Thanks for playing in this week's color challenge!
