Sending Hugs Mixed Media Style Card

This is a mixed media style flower card.

Sentiment:  Sending hugs.

For this card, I used the new Tim Holtz distress oxide ink as watercolor.  I love it.  It has a chalk like soft look when dry.  And so, I finished the image panel with a matte gel medium.  I felt that it needed the extra coating to set the colors and to prevent a water reaction from the oxide ink.  I was pleasantly surprised that the final colors came out more vivid.

Here is a closer look:
