What a beautiful gallery we got to pick from to-day. I had such a difficult time but finally chose this beauty http://www.harusaki-suisai.com/_src/...3v83878393.jpg . I tried to keep it as CAS as possible because I wanted the image to be the first thing to see. Using the watercolour technique I spritzed the paper with water then stamped the image and let it bleed into the background. As the paper dried I stamped the image three more times then let it dry completely. It was a little wonky so I ironed it to get it flat.

What a fantastic tribute to the inspiration artist's vision! Your water coloured flowers are so etherial. The colours are one of my favourite combinations. I love this clean look and everything else about this card. Wonderful!

You are just too cool for school, Mrs. Noofy w/ your water spritzed card. You got what you wanted: your image was the first thing I looked at. Who could anyone not see that first? Beautiful.

now why didn't I think to iron it after . that is so smart! I love what you did with this. ( I had considered running mine through a sewing machine to get it flat but, did pop dots under instead.) so, I am just thrilled you shared that tip!
