For this card, I watercolored as I normally do (with distress re-inkers), but then I added some perfect pearls to the wells in my paint tray. Just a bit. Then I went back an highlighted some of the petals, flower center, and leaves. You can't tell in the picture (though I tried SEVERAL angles to try and catch it) there is a golden shimmer on many parts of the flower.
I really like the fact that I can get the look of other products but have just one product--that is a multi-tasker (yeah, I am an Alton Brown fan).
The sentiment is just one word of a quote stamp that I colored with a black marker and then stamped.
I didn't embellish the card much--because I didn't want to detract from the main image.
