Using the su embossing folder on water color paper, ran it through the BS...using a brush and water painted the recessed parts of the image. After finishing, sanded it and the embossed lines appeared more vibrant. Added the dots. This week a very kind stamper Precious Kitty tickled me with her beautiful stamps. They can be found here: https://preciouskittyscreations.blogspot.com/ , they are fabulous. The sentiment is from one of her collections. They stamp beautifully. TFL

Oh my goodness Linda, this is just stunning. And that sentiment- what a hoot! I adore how you water colored these wonderful embossed roses, then added the black dots around them. The scoring by the sentiment looks fabulous, and highlights the wonderful humor you tucked into this gorgeous card! ~Karen.

I always love your watercoloring on cards, and today you added one of my favs details...black dots. Great idea to color the recessed areas on the embossed flowers and you chose such pretty colors.

Ha! I like this card on so many levels, Linda!! First the flowers are gorgeous and I never knew about how sanding made the embossed lines more vibrant! Thanks for the tip. Then I love the dots in the bg - I love that look, and then there's that fabulous sentiment that made me laugh out loud!!! Faved, of course!!!

Linda, your roses are just beautiful and the sanding really did make the embossed lines pop. Love the colors from your inspiration. And, what a chuckle I got from Jan's sentiment. Plus, on top of that, coral is one of my favorite colors...looks great with pink, too.
