Live, Love Cards May Challenge ~ Watercolor

Oh my goodness peeps! I've got lots of cards to post today... this is only the first so stay tuned!

This card was made for the Live, Love Cards May Challenge where we were to use Watercolor on our cards. I really love the way it came out, don't you?!

And there's a story about the stamp set I used to make it.

Not too awful long ago, Deepti Malik released her first stamp set called Blooming Buds through Stamplorations. To celebrate her first release, she and Stamplorations both did a giveaway on their respective blogs... and I won on Deepti's blog! I received this set in the mail earlier this week and I was just itching to use it and the perfect flower outlines were begging to be watercolored!

I stamped the images in VersaMark and then white heat embossed them to create little "wells" for my colors and then I painted it all in with my Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pens. The colors turned out beautifully!

The sentiment is from Deepti's set as well and then it was just a hand drawn border and a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins to finish it up!

I love this set and it's available now in the Stamplorations shop!

See you soon!
