Our cards are the same size but hers is turned with the fold on top. I watercolored my image and didn't use an embossing folder. Our design is almost the same except I added another layer.
I used masking fluid and let dry, stamped and watercolored my image and added sentiment. Added watercoloring around my the image and then peeled off the masking fluid.
Mary, enjoy your well deserved honor.
