THIS CARD was made by doing a watercolor wash with the three pinks on watercolor cardstock and then cutting the dies from that - and doing one with old olive and cutting the leaf dies from that and then putting it all together. The colors come out really bold and bright and the pretty in pink almost looks corally, but that is just what the ink did. I just returned from Orlando -the SU incentive trip- and almost forgot to post my card, - better late than never!! Gnite all.....I am whipped!! Disney is not for the faint of heart!!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

What a different look doing a water color wash makes on your pretty posies, Karen! I Love the sparkle and their black centers! The embossed bg is a lovely backdrop for these beauties~

Your flowers are lovely Karen. I love the frame over the embossed background and how you placed the flowers along the frame. It’s really pretty!
