Had to make a flower card for our May flower challenge. Inked up the stamp with colors, spritzed with water and stamped on wc cs. Did this a couple times, then flicked diluted ink with a paintbrush and stamped sentiment with the MISTI so I could stamp it more than once and make sure it was solid and bold on top of the ink. Matted, and popped up panel for dimension. I love this sentiment for a wedding card and thought these colors would be good for a summer wedding.

The colors on your card take my breath away! The smeared watercolor look is a gorgeous treatment for the large floral stamps and you did a masterful job on color placement and smooshing. This will make for a lovely wedding card, and even would be perfect for a special anniversary card. Nicely done!
