For this particular card, I cut a panel of cold pressed watercolor paper to 4.75 by 6 inches and taped it onto a masilo board so that it doesn't warp while adding watercoloring. I used the emboss resisr technique for this panel. I stamped the centre flowers onto the cardstock using Versamark Watermark Ink on all four corners, heat embossing with Ranger Super Fine White Embossing powder one corner at a time. That was I was sure I won't mess up the panel by stamping flowers on top of each other.To color the panel I used my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors. For the sentiment I watercolored some cardstock with purple to match one of the flowers and white heat embossed Hey Sunshine which is from one of the older stamp sets called Handlettered Encouragement. I cut a regular Neenah Solar White 90 lb cardstock to an A2 top folding panel and also cut a panel from Fog cardstock from SSS again to 4.25 by 5.5 inches and adhered to the front of the card. I cut the watercolored panel to 4 inches by 5.25 inches and adhered the sentiment panel onto it with some natural twine running through it. It adhered this panel on the to fog cardstock. I finished the card with some clear sequins from Studio Katia and for the floral centres I used some Nuvo drops.
