Fall Flowers!

Hi everyone! I was perusing some of my favorite blogs a while ago and came across this beautiful card that inspired me! Hers was created with a series of stencils and inks but since I didn't have those particular supplies, I wanted to try it with watercolors.

I first stamped the MFT images in Versa Mark ink and then embossed them in white so they would really pop against the dark background I was planning. I chose some bright colors from my Kuretake Watercolors and filled in all the images, going back after they had dried a bit to layer in more color.  Once all of the images were completely dry, I added in the brown background. 

Although the panel was beautiful on its own, I gave it a bit of visual interest by die-cutting the bottom at an angle and layering it over some orange card stock. I added in a few gold sequins and a gold thread bow for the final touches!

Thanks for checking out my blog! Bee Happy!!
