AMAZING... simply amazing! I had to look twice to figure out if these were Stampin' Up! sets... it looks like some patterned paper I've seen at scrapbook stores. YOU'RE MY HERO!

I wish I could give you 40 tens!!! This is absolutely stunning! And there are no layers - LOVE it! Yes, I agree with newdemo above - I had to look harder to see all the sets you used. At first I thought - oh Hero Arts came out with some new set! Yowza!!!!! You are so awesome and this card is a true stamping winner in my book. I vote this card best in show!!!!!

I love your watercolor work - it inspires me! Did you sponge or stipple as well (upper leftcorner right section)?
I want more - need more - samples! Keep em coming!
All my best,
Nancy

I'm so glad to hear that it inspires you, Nancy! The "stippling" is actually stray silver EP. I used the versamark pad direct-to-paper in the corners in a couple of areas, and then sprinkled silver EP--as much or as little for desired effect.
I'll see what I can come up with next. I just picked up a Stampers Sampler the other day, and was inspired to "broaden" my stamping horizons. Marigolds was the first result.

What a joy to behold! I love how you incorporate so much artistry into your designs. The stamps cease to look like stamps and become a lovely composition. Very well done! Keep creating, I'll keep admiring!
