I finally finished my featured stamper card in honor of Gracie! Here is her gorgeous creation: Amazing Day by JRHolbrook at Splitcoaststampers I followed her layout but used different stamps and colors practicing my masking.
My card also fits the Alphabet Challenge letter M for masking, Melon Mambo, and Mossy Meadow. I actually had additional colors out to put on the card but they didn't make it.
I did live dangerously as I stamped this with SU inks and then did the watercolor around the arrangement. There are places where a little bleeding occurred but I like how it looks. I splattered with one of the gold watercolors in the Gansai Tambi set and finished with the sentiment.
Gracie, I hope you enjoyed your week! I've had your beautiful card open on my computer ever since. Masking is a technique that I need to practice more often.
Thanks for looking!

Yeah, I am still in the learning curve of masking as well. This looks great! I have not even used the Celebrate You stamp and I really like how it looks on this. Love your colors and splatterings. I need to investigate the G.T. w/c's. I have heard of them and now after seeing your card, I want them. Thanks for the enabling, Catherine, lol....

This is just gorgeous Catherine! I love the colors you used and your masking is fantastic (I would never know you were not a pro at it by looking at this card). Your water coloring looks fabulous and really showcases these gorgeous blooms so very nicely. I am impressed with how you were inspired by Gracie's lovely inspiration card. ~Karen.

I like how the bleeding looks on your card too. You picked some wonderful colors for your choices.
