This time I made it into a card for the CAS Watercolour Challenge that ends tonight.
I used the Poppystamps Pin Point Main Street tag die again.
I love this die!
This time I cut it twice and scored 1/2" from the top on one die cut.
By adding adhesive at the top, it opens like a card.
The design piece was stamped using Distress inks and
moving the color around with an Aqua Painter.
Once the flowers were dry, I did a wet on wet wash around the flowers.
I used watercolor pencils to add some details to the flowers and stems.
It's a technique that I learned from an Altenew class that Marika taught.
The die cut love and embossed layers complete the project.
CAS Watercolour closes on the 24th.

This turned out with a "wow" factor. Love the added impact of the watercolor pencils and the tag layers, particularly the embossed one.
beautiful back ground for your flowers, the watercolouring is so pretty. i also love the embossed tag :)t
Beautiful painting and love the soft colors from the blossom in your background. I did try this once- what a mess I had. Yours is so perfectly done!
Stunning tag. I love the background for your flowers, as if melting in the air gently coloring the air. WOW!
