Today Michelle asked us to discover something new or try something new. I discovered that I could use my Delicate Design Embossing border on each side of my image instead of always on the background or base of the card. I love how it really compliments the image and sets it off. I added black to the watercolor paper base as a frame. The flowers are watercolored with ink from lids of ink pads.

Your watercoloring on that beautiful geranium image is gorgeous! I like the embossed side panels - you are right, they do make the center "pop". Great card.
