I first stamped the image onto white with soft wheat (just so I could barely see the lines), then I used re-inkers by Adirondack to water color each section, using post-its to mask. Next I used a stamp aligner to re-stamp image using bleach so that it left a lovely pattern in the watercolored sections. Next I stamped the image on white with Chocolate Memento and colored just the frame and leaf as you see. cut it out and popped it up.

Wow! So much work and what an interesting technique for your background. But the image is what really caught me eye-love the way you colored it! Fantastic card!
