Layered watercolor flowers and bees card

 Take a look at this layered watercolor flowers and bees card.  I used watercolor layers and paper frame layers to build this up.

Sentiment:  You're the bee's knees.

Let the water do the work for you.

Helpful Tips:

In summary, to make this layered watercolor flowers card, begin by stamping the large background in waterproof ink onto watercolor paper.  Also, stamp the sentiment on a separate piece of watercolor paper.  Next, trim down the background and the sentiment to fit onto your card project.  I wanted a bit of a frame so my card front is smaller.  Also, die-cut or trim pale yellow frame layers from cardstock.  Then, choose two colors for the petals and one for the bees.  I used peach with a touch of red for a variegated look.  For each flower, paint the petals with only water first and then dab color over the water as you go.  This creates a soft blend of color.  Repeat for the whole background to your liking.  For the sentiment label, add ink smooshing by dabbing the label into a mix of both colors.  Finally, adhere all of the layers onto the card base, to finish.
