    Very nice Heather. I would not have thought to use the linen ink around the flower/leaves. Great job.

    Fabulous card, Heather! I love this technique because you don’t have to know how to paint to enjoy the rewards of a finished water color! You don’t even have to paint in the lines 🙂

    I love this technique. I tried something and it’s just a hint….I stamped my flower using yellow distress ink.the color became part of the finished flower. It just added another bit of color. Thank you for sharing this with us.
