For the Inspiration Challenge, we're visiting Dans le Lakehouse & Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.
My pink floral card started w/ a piece of watercolor paper I had run thru the die cut machine to press real flowers into the paper. I did this a year or so ago so I don't remember which flowers I used but they had such lovely pinks & purples. I stamped the petunias directly onto this then die cut them. For the leaves, I used a couple of green watercolor pencils & a water brush.The large offset circle is a new die. I stamped the greeting directly onto the striped section.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & products: The Write Stuff

What a lovely, feminine card, Julie. Your pressed flower technique for your beautifully colored flowers is amazing. They look fabulous on your pink striped offset circle. Stunning design, as usual.

What lovely depth of color you achieved by stamping your flowers directly onto the paper you previously decorated with your pressed flowers. Love your new stitched circle die!
