I changed the colour of the flowers, changed the layout a bit and added the hand drawn border. The flowers are stamped, masked then watercoloured using Brushos. Added a few details with a white gel pen too.
I was recently published in the Craft Stamper magazine and when I received my copy, there was a free flower stamp on the front. That is what I used to make this card.

Congrats on getting published Karen.... How exciting for you.... and a free stamp... Bonus.... SO pretty my dear.... I didn't think about using Brushos for just watercoloring an image... my tunnel vision just saw backgrounds.... Nicely done

Wow, Karen! Right into favorites! The coloring on your card just knocked my socks off! How rich that red it. I also love the hand drawn border, allowing the space to stamp your sentiment! WOW!

Thank you, Karen!! Oh my gosh this is so beautiful. I've said before I'm so intimidated by red...I generally only use touches of it and rarely color with it. This is so bold and masterful! Thank you for helping to celebrate my FS week.
