Another early morning crafting session with some techniques I rarely use.
I started with watercolor paper. This new to me Penny Black stamp was colored upon with Tombow markers. I spritzed the stamp lightly and then stamped it down onto the paper. I stamped the leafy area first then using the same technique the flowers using an orange and a deep yellow. I dried the entire image with a heat tool.
Once dry I prepped it with powder so I could clear emboss over the image to give it some texture and protect it. Once the image was clear embossed, I added some broken china distress ink with a brush to add a bit of color to the back ground. I then spritzed the entire panel with a clear shimmer spray. Once it dried again, I die cut the panel to fit a square card. I added a sentiment to finish the card.
I am entering this card to the following challenges :
Muse 282- I was inspired by the loose color of Tracey's blooms

Beautiful card Cat, great idea to clear emboss! Thanks for visiting my blog.
This is beautiful.
It looks like the flower itself has been pressed onto your card.
