I had a delightful time wandering through The Cake Blog this morning with my coffee. I picked my inspiration piece(s) and had to go out, and all the while I pondered which one to do. I finally settled on this:
These colours have me yearning for sunshine and seeing as it is snowing here, I wanted sunshine on my card. I first embossed my card base front with the roses embossing folder. I then inked my stamp with the Mustard Seed and Wild Honey and spritzed with water before stamping with my "MISTI" - (new to me); I then applied extra ink with my aqua brush. I attached the panel to fun foam just because it was easier to do then mounting tape and the whole back of the watercolour panel is covered. For the flower I put down the 2 colours on my craft mat and spritzed lightly then dragged my flower through the ink, and again used my aqua brush to pick up extra amounts of colour and applied between drying a few times. I styled my flower for attaching, then sprayed heavily with Glimmer Mist - IRL I love the look. I then attached my sentiment and sequins.

Love your splattered wood grain panel, Kia - with the sunny flower, leaves and die cut sentiment - so cheery!! How could this not make someone smile! Faved.

Your lovely card is certainly splashed with sunshine....figuratively and literally, Kia. Wonderful technique to give texture as well as artistic flair.

Kia, thanks for the sunshine today with this cheerful card. It is snowing here too! UGH! Enough already. I like how you bg looks with that stamp. It really has a look of an embossing folder. TFS
