Our Featured Stamper this week is Marge Yoon. She has such a lovely gallery and I decided to come out of my comfort zone a bit because of this card. I don't do a lot of florals and I never watercolor. I just don't know how to. So I pretty much took my Spectrum Aquas and traced the outlines and dragged the color out with a paintbrush. A little sloppy looking and pretty scary to do, but I'm happy enough with it. My only problem is that when I printed out my digis for some reason a black rectangle printed out to the left of the sentiment. I was too lazy to try to print it again, so I colored over it with black marker and added some extra black around it.

Just WOW! Your take on the inspiration piece is impressive. Love the way the black cardbase sets off the stunning watercolored floral. By the way, the watercoloring on this piece looks like a pro did it! My jaw dropped when I read that you are a newbee to watercoloring. I would say you have a natural talent for it. Please show us more! Nicely done...TFS
