Water color Roses

 The last time I shared a card using this stamp set I had colored it with Daniel Smith watercolors.  Shortly after doing that one I colored another using my Spectrum Aqua markers by coloring them onto a non stick mat and then picking up the color with my water brush.  At the time I didn't like it as well as the Daniel Smith one so I put it aside in my unused pile of goodies, I came across it again the other day and since I didn't have the one colored with the Daniel Smith to compare it to, I liked how this turned out, so I thought it would make for a nice Thank you that I needed.  I only had to add the sentiment and the butterfly, a little wink of stella clear sparkle pen to the flowers and some pearl drops.


I know I used a red distress ink to stamp it but never wrote down which color.

Such lovely watercolouring. You really did a nice job with the shading and highlighting. Adding a touch of pink on the leaves is perfect. The recipient will be very lucky.
