Same technique I used on my previous card: First to create the watercolor look I inked the solid part of the stencil with distress inks but this time I forgot to spritz with water first so the ink did not spread out as much. Laid the wc cs on top, removed and then let dry. Then here is the fun part- the flower stamp corresponds to the stencil shape, so then I stamped it on all the flowers. I then put the stencil back in place and sponged the green ink the "correct" way through the stencil, as well as the text stamp and a grunge dots stamp for a bit more texture. I cut the panel in half to use in 2 separate cards. Embossed the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape.

First the color combo is rich and pretty together - I love the daisy border and the black butterfly - so creative and pretty!!!
