This is card #3 from my watercoloring session last week. It's another birthday card, but I couldn't find the perfect Happy Birthday to fit in the oval, so I chose a sentiment from an older, and not much used set, by Papertrey Ink, Scripted. Now that I've "found" it again, I think you'll see more of it. One of the items on my list of things to do during this time of forced seclusion is to use newer stamps and dies, and older less used ones. Of the three cards I made, I think this is my favorite. It also caused the most trouble. Just after I glued the beautiful Geometrix: Oval frame to the card front, the stamped message smeared. I can't remember the last time that happened, but it required starting over. Fortunately, the flowers had not been glued.
For all three cards, I used a wet on wet technique for watercoloring. I'm happiest with the shading that happened on this one.
I also used a Gelly Roll #10 white pen to add some accents on the pistils.
I'm entering this card in these challenges:
The Flower Challenge: Anything Goes
Here's a look at all three cards I've posted over the last few days. One thing I love about a versatile stamp set is the very different looks you can achieve by changing the color and the design of the cards.
