Uploading the picture of my card to IPhoto proved to be a challenge that required several days for me to solve. Fortunately, I finally accomplished the upload.
The stamp set Remarkable You has some gorgeous images that pretty much stand alone. That is the stamp set that I used to create my thanks card. The flower is stamped on Watercolor Paper with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. The flower and leaves are watercolored with an Aqua Painter, Crushed Curry & Wild Wasabi Inks.
After I finished watercoloring, I thought that the card needed some more color. Spritzing was just what I needed. I filled the Stampin' Spritzer with alcohol and added about 10 drops of Crushed Curry Reinker. In order to protect my flower image, I covered it with a scrap piece of card stock.
Because I had been making my Cottage Greeting cards the Cottage Greetings Stamp Set was on my table. I grabbed the "thanks" and inked it with Memento Black Ink. A bow created with the 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon fills some of the space at the top of my card. Finally, every flower needs Pearls – including this one!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,

Very nice flower, like your colors. Thanks for the reminder on this method of coloring.
Beautiful! I love the Cottage Greetings set – such fun scriptive writing. The coloring is perfect and I love how you spritzed beyond it – really a fun touch. The rich black ribbon is a perfect compliment to the pearls. Well done my friend!
Yet again you knocked this one out of the park! I forget about the water color method but I love it! Beautiful colors~ love this card!
