This is for the CC305 to use Cherry Cobbler, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink. I especially made the card for the Teapot Tuesday challenge to create something bright and cheerful to send to Katie. I really love the soft feminine look to this card and hope it brightens Katie's day.
I don't have Cherry Cobbler or Melon Mambo so I substituted with Riding Hood Red and Ranger Watermelon. I stamped the image on Prism white paper with versa and embossed with gold ep. I watercolored using a brush and reinkers and while it was still sort of wet I applied gold ep again and heated. The powder stuck to the wet places on the image and added more gold to highlight the beautiful flowers. The border was punched with a set of MS border and corner punches.

This is beautiful! Love the way you did the gold on that lovely bouquet of tulips and on the bg behind them. The colors are wonderful the way you watercolored them on the tulips. Pretty bow too.

Gorgeous, Kittie! Your gold-embossed tulips are so beautifully colored. Tulips are my favorite flower, and I can't believe I've missed this image in the RN pages!!
