For this beautiful card I started out by stamping the Conservatory Quotes floral image with embossing ink onto water color paper and applying Raven embossing powder. I did that on opposite corners of the card. Using my Aqua Brushes and Sparkle Aqua Pigments I water colored the image. I used the Hello Shaker cutting file to make my greeting and heat embossed it three times with Raven embossing powder to give it depth and shine. I then stamped the smaller sentiment onto Raven card stock using embossing ink and Alabaster Embossing Powder and trimmed it down to size. Before applying the the sentiments I spattered yellow Sparkle Aqua Pigments to add some interest and then popped up my sentiment with foam tape. For the final bells and whistles I added some clear dew drops that came in a floral arrangement that I re-purposed.
Your next stop is #54 Mirella Rogan (HandmadeByMirella)
