When I read this challenge I knew which stamps I just had to use. House Mouse of course! These two stamps are just sooo perfect for this challenge.
Firstly, I cut and embossed the largest square from my Square Nestablities set, and while the die was still in place, I stamped the Gorgeous Guinea image with the Stone Grey StazOn ink. Next, I cut a hollow circle using the SU 1 3/8" and CM 1 1/2" Circle punches and used this to trace off the area that I wanted to water colour. Then I used my Tombow Markers and an Aqua Painter to water colour the image.
Finally I stamped my sentiment to the top and bottom of the focal image and made up my flower using the SU Scallop punch and assorted smaller Circle punches held together with the large brad.
