I chose the new Thank You So Much stamp set which features the most beautiful flower image. It was screaming to be watercolored!! So, I decided to use my TomBow Dual Brush Markers for this. I stamped the image in Versamark ink and used white embossing powder...I'm not great at watercolour without those barriers the embossing creates :). I used only one shade of turquoise to do my colouring but did add layers. I then fussy cut the flower out.
For my front card panel, I used the largest frame die from the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frame Creative Die Set. This covers the entire front of the cardbase. After stamping the flower image repeatedly on the panel (I used Fog ink from Simon Says Stamp), I did some partial die cutting to separate that panel into two pieces while maintaining the dotted detail. This created a space to stamp my sentiment.
I adhered my die cut panel directly onto a kraft cardbase and stamped the sentiment in black ink. This sentiment is also from a new stamp set in the release called, Hello Alice. I foam mounted that big, beautiful flower and tucked the leaves behind.
To finish off, I added three Clear Heart Drops. I actually refrained from using any sort of sparkle on this card because I thought that bold flower image was enough.
Thank you for stopping by today!! I hope you enjoyed this little sneak of what's to come this week!!
All the new fabulous products will be available on Monday, February 27th!!! You are going to LOVE this release!!!

What an absolutely gorgeous image. Truly beautiful - I love that the flower is blue as well. Your water colouring is so good! xx
