AAA Birthday Card Game 2 - Use Water Colors

Today I have a card for the AAA Birthday Card game.  For this second Birthday Card Game, we were asked to use water colors.

I chose the MFT Fresh Cut Flowers Background stamp.  It was the first time had I used it, and the first time in quite a few months that I've water colored an image.  I really enjoyed it.

I stamped the image with Versamark ink on Strathmore Bristol paper and then heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.  It's my favorite gold embossing power, a soft warm, gold.

The water coloring was done with Zig markers and a water brush.  The colors I used are listed below.

The sentiment is from the MFT More Essential Sentiments set.  It was also heat embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder and then popped up with a piece of foam tape.

The water colored image is mounted on a piece of blue vellum, and I added a strip of washi tape to the left side.  I used an A6 (6.25" x 4.5") Pure White card base from Paper Source.
