Hi there, Diane with you today.

I recently purchased a few of the Ken Oliver Color Bursts

and decided to water color with them.

I stamped my JustRite stamp with Versamark

and then embossed with 

Sparkle N Sprinkle Black Fine Detail embossing powder,

but first using the  Anti Static embossing buddy

on water color paper to help keep the EB powder from sticking

to places I didn't want it to.

I lightly heat set my EB powder.

The stamp I used is JustRite Black Eyed Susan

which is not in stock, however,

you could use Mums or Sunflower Vintage Labels Five

and this technique would work just fine with them.

I cut the image out using the largest die from the

Sue Wilson Kafalonia Greek Island Collection.

Next I used the Spritzer Bottle to spray a bit of water on my craft mat.

I also, put a tiny bit (very tiny) bit of 

Ken Oliver Color Burst Orange and

Ken Oliver Color Burst Lemon Yellow on the mat as well.

I used the Tim Holtz Water Brush with the Detail Nib

to pick up a bit of water and apply it to the petals of the flowers.

I next picked up the yellow color with the tip of the brush and

let it flow into the petals wherever it wanted to go.

I added a bit more water around the middle section of the flowers

and then picked up a bit of the orange color from the mat

and let it also run on the petals.

I love how it just mixed on it's own!

Once it was completely dry, I finished my card.

I added PoppyStamps Cottage Corner tucked behind the image 
(this is a die that cuts the flowers on the corners and embosses the rest).

A few Le Creme pearls were placed on the flowers.

Butterflies were added using Joy! Crafts Butterfly Trio.

A sentiment was stamped from the 

JustRite Hope and Love Vintage Labels Eight and Nine set
