Bonnie, this may be my newest favorite of all your makes! Isn't this the most beautiful color combo? Yeah, I know, there's blue - but this greyed-down version flips all my switches!
Love the addition of the white die-cut leaves, and that gorgeous embossing, too!

Yes the pretty bloom does look water coloured Bonnie and I love how you did the leaves too. Gorgeous colour combination and one very beautiful card x.

The colour combination looks amazing using this sketchy watercolour look flower Bonnie and love the added blue you have used on the tan colour leaves, and the embossed strip edged in blue with the extra white die cut leaves and little blue flowers and sentiment are great finishing touches. x
