I stamped the vase image (Lenten Rose set) using Sahara Sand ink from Memento, then watercolored using dye reinkers. I added shading using watercolor pencils, and painted a sheer coat of pearlescent white Lumiere paint over the vase. I love using a light ink for my outline when I watercolor - the images just have so much more depth. I used my Scor-Buddy to edge the focal panel. I trimmed around a few petals with a craft knife and embossed those areas from the back of the panel with a large stylus.
