Our WT579 challenge today is to be inspired by an ad. Travelocity has (or had, not sure if they are still running) this series of video ads with a traveling gnome and each ad ends with the phrase “Go and smell the roses” – so I went with a literal response with this card!
I embossed the rose on wc card stock and then continued to practice my watercoloring that I have been learning from Deepti MalikÂ’s online class. When I finished watercoloring, I stamped the text from French Foliage as part of the bg, and then splattered with diluted white acrylic paint and the same inks in the card. The rest is pretty clear, I think.

Your watercoloring is lovely on the rose/leaves and the embossing sets it off so nicely. Great work on the bg too and the added spatters. A lovely card.
