Heartfelt Rose for CAS Watercolour Reminder

Hi there.

There's still time to join us at CAS Watercolour.

This month's challenge is

We always need birthday cards!

I did this watercolor with a stamp that was a gift from a dear friend.

I inked it with Distress Stains, then used my waterbrush to move the color.

I put some stain on my palette and picked up to add some darker shading.

You may notice that I added some brown to the leaves and lightly to the flower,

My flowers always seem to have brown on them!

Finally, I pulled out some of the color around the edges.

The sentiment was gifted to me from another dear friend.

The die cut design is popped up on a piece of foam.

Our Design Team is joined this month by the very talented

Birgit (Rapport fran ett skrivbord).

When I saw this photo for the challenge at Inkspirational, 

I saw the lovely pink flowers.

So I'm taking this over there.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
