Using Dina's tutorial to water color this large stamp using my ink pads. Used the glazing technique she describes. It is were you start with the lightest color and color the image and let it dry. You then put another layer of a darker color. Continue doing this until you are happy. The only thing different I do is when finished coloring , will take a brush with clean water and dab the clean water were I want it lighter. It reactivates the ink, and then take paper toweling and dab the color off. I did mask the image when stenciling the background. It was stenciled with a blending brush from picket fence and TH peacock feathers ink pad. Added sentiment. Used my best paper for this card. Many times use cheaper water color paper.

Wowsers! This is one show stopper of a card Linda. This bloom is so beautifully water colored and just pops right off your card (and out of the gallery too!) with the beautiful stenciling you did behind it. I regret I did not see this beauty when it came through the gallery, but it sure made my day to see this today. ~Karen.
