Love the bold flowers with the vivid blue in this photo on our inspiration site today: http://thecakeblog.com/wp-content/up...ed_wedding.jpg
I have been working on my watercoloring lately and with this card I have been practicing some of Heather Telford's watercolor techniques after watching some of her videos. Thank you, Heather!
I inked the stamp with distress stains of multiple reds and greens on watercolor cs, and then pulled the paint around with a wet brush to fill the petals. Added more paint when it needed more. Splattered diluted inks of the same color, plus some diluted acrylic white paint with a paintbrush. Matted in black and mounted the panel with dimensional tape. I am loving watercoloring lately!!

Your beautiful card just pops from the gallery today, Maura. No wonder you love watercoloring...you are so good at it. The splatter makes it look like the flowers are wet after a light rain.
