(For those that did not see, on Jan. 31, 2020 I posted an I Love You card using the "Little Ladybug" cling hostess set from Stampin'Up®.)
I took the large flower from the Little Ladybug Cling hostess set and stamped it in Versa Ink and used Whisper White Embossing powder. I heat set it with the Stampin'Up®. heat tool. Once it cooled down, I took my Aqua Painter (which I absolutely love) and used ink from my Mango Melody ink pad (which I stamped on a plate and added a tiny bit of water to) and watercolored my flower. The stem is done in Granny Apple Green and the flower centre is Early Espresso.
The background is a seriously watered down Coastal Cabana ink. The secret to watercolor is loose strokes and not overthinking.
I like to save left over pieces from watercolor paper that I have cut off from other card projects. That is what I have used here to cut out the "Sympathy" sentiment. It is actually the edge piece of a card that I did not like the look of. It looks great here though. (It is a mixture of yellows and greens from the Stampin'Up®. ink Brights Collection, in case you are interested.)
