hi there,
Congrats to Jean Manis for being the FS today. Here gallery is wonderful and I felt inspired by this card: Watercolored Iris by jeanmanis at Splitcoaststampers
I decided to make my card a one-layer card and I wanted to stencil my bkg. so masked the edges and rubbed Distress ink over my stencil and splattered with water to add depth. Next I inked up my flower stamp by colouring with my Memento markers then sprayed with water and stamped.
I stamped my sentiment directly onto my card front instead of adding a tag like Jean's card had on it.
When I removed the masks around the edges, I accidently got ink on the white so I sponged Distress ink around the edges to add a border and cover up my mistake!
Thanks for looking,

Lydia once said, "there are no mistakes in stamping" I believe her. Love how you did the edges. I just love the watercolor effect you got on your beautiful flowers Karen.
