Such great challenges! Love the watercolor w/ embossing, and Jennifer's gallery was a pleasure to view. Here's the one I chose to case: WT160 You Make Me Happy by Lovetostamp6 at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the stamps, moved the sentiment and ribbon treatment.
The bg and the bird are stamped on white w/ black ink and black embossed. The sentiment was embossed once in black and once in white then spliced together.
The bg was watercolored w/ an H2O brush and dye reinkers. A little color was added to some of the flowers. The rectangle behind the bird was also spliced together and dots were added w/ glaze pens. I used a corner rounder punch w/ the corner thingies removed to do the scallop edge along the bottom of the bg. TFL

Wow! Black and pink are a classic combo- and your splicing is great. Love your card.
