I stamped the flowers on watercolor paper, used a toothbrush (I REALLY need to get a stipple brush) to add some 'thumps' of color) and spritzed it with water. Then I trimmed the paper edges with the deckle blade on my carl cutter and inked the edges with artichoke.
It's really prettier than the picture shows but I bet Eva's card is even prettier than mine!

Beautiful card. You did a wonderful job on the watercolor. And the edging of this card gives it a nice feminine look. By the way, if the toothbrush works, continue to use it--that's how we used to do it, *back in the day*.
Thanks for sharing.

Michelle, this is just lovely. There's something wonderfully unique about it; that's what makes it so special! Beautiful images and great distressed edges.
