This card and design incorporates lots of different stamp sets to get the look I wanted. It was made for a dear friend's birthday celebration.
Front sentiment: If friends were flowers, I'd pick you.
This is watercolor using my new Derwent Inktense colored pencils. This is my first try with the pencils and I have to say that these are fabulous to work with. Adding the water brush transforms the pencil detail into watercolor paint and very vivid too. I can tell these are going to get a ton of use.
