For today's CAS challenge "It's About Birthdays", the Fan Club "Spring Forward" challenge (I think about what flowers I want to grow in my garden as soon as the spring starts), and the Fan Club "Inspiration" challenge (a photo of vibrant coloured flowers).
I placed a flower stencil over watercolour paper and sprinkled different colours of color burst powders through the openings, then (with the stencil still in place) spritzed with water. Most of it came out really nicely but I had one big unattractive muddy splotch so put my sentiment on a die cut and covered it up! Thank goodness we have die cuts!
I added little strips of black cs to the top and bottom so that I would end up with a perfect square which I popped up on fun foam on my card base.

Wow, how precise the images turned out! I was wondering HOW on earth you kept it from seeping! The image is so crisp. What a cool technique, Susan and love your card.

Ha, I love the specially placed sentiment die technique, Susan - a technique I have used once or twice myself!!! (actually more, but who's counting!) Love the watercolor look of the flowers and I think the black strip adds so much interest!!
