Barbara has chosen our colors this week and she has chosen: melon mambo, tempting turquoise, so saffron and a dessert of a watercolor. I made 2 cards today – one with desert and one without.
For this card, since I was going to watercolor, I chose distress colors that would match as best as I could. On a piece of watercolor cs, I stamped and embossed the flowers. Then I watercolored the flowers and bg, and then spattered with diluted inks of the same color and also with white diluted acrylic paint. When watercoloring the flowers, I used just a touch of some blue ink to make the petals stand out, and then added just a bit of copic C1 after that for depth. Added a die cut border with the PB die. Assembled and added sequins for the finishing touch.

Goodness, that is amazing! It makes me want to just stare at it for ages and drink in all the details! Love the flowers, the sequins, the speckles, the colours!

Maura, your card is just amazing. I love those watercolored flowers and the splatters. Great background. This is going straight to my faves.
