I combined the two daily challenges into this one b'day card. The CAS was to use "line stamps" only. This stamp did have "solid" parts, but I used my black LePlume marker to just color the stems and flower centers. Huffed and stamped. Using the stamp as a guide, I freehand colored for the first time the blossoms and buds with watercolor crayons that Gabby had sent me this last Christmas. With an aqua pen, the colors blended nicely. If you notice a little green...it was accidental....happened when the yellow crayon and black marker mixed with water. The TLC was to create a monochromatic card(except neutrals)....I chose yellow-orange as my color and used shades of it.

I am loving this stamp, Sallie. Beautiful watercolor artwork. Have never had or tried watercolor crayons, but the effect it gives has given me the itch to possibly try them out one day
