You hold a special place in my heart.

This card can be for love, appreciation, thank you, family, friendship or just because.

Helpful Tips:

In summary, begin by stamping in waterproof ink onto the smooth side of watercolor paper.  Choose colors for watercoloring and coordinating color cardstock for an accent.  Use watercolor brush pens by dropping color into a palette mat first.  This offers more control of the color intensity.  Then, add water to the stamping and watercolor by section.  Blend out with water and a paint brush. Repeat for each flower and leaf section.  Dry between sections.  Add a light yellow background wash with diluted color.  Once dry, trim the panel and layers.  Finally, adhere all of the layers onto the card base, to finish.
