Korin has given us another simple sketch today which allows for lots of personal expression. I did turn it 90 degrees and flipped it for my horizontal card.
The floral image is done with multiple stamps. I would pat various ink pads onto the stamp, then mist with water before stamping. I like the aspect that I never know exactly what I'm going to get. The final stamp is the black outlines and that I embossed with clear EP.

Very nice blotched watercolour effect on the flowers. It adds the soft touch to the clean and crisp layout. The chevron embossed panel is really unique with a flower design. Lovely card!

This looks like a Van Gogh painting; so beautiful and artistic, Sallie! Love this style of coloring! The purple panels are perfect and the red really pops~

Love the watercoloring and the back panel seems to reflect shading which is perfect for the flowered panel.
