A Rainbow of Flowers

Oh, hi!  Were you expecting another mouse?  Sorry, not today.  It's been raining here all morning, so I thought I'd drop in a rainbow.

As with most of my cards, this one started out in one direction and ended up going in a totally different direction.  But, I'm quite pleased with where it landed.

I started out by stamping the large floral spray from the Hello Lovely stamp set onto a piece of Canson Watercolor Paper.  I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink so I could heat emboss it with clear embossing powder.

Next I pulled out my Distress Inks so I could do some easy watercoloring.  I used Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Mermaid Lagoon, and Seedless Preserves.

I smooshed the ink pads directly onto my non-stick craft sheet and picked up the colors with a wet paintbrush.  Then, I just slathered the colors where I wanted them to go.  Talk about a quick and easy card!

Once it was dry, I used my trusty stitched rectangle dies to cut the watercolored panel and a frame from black glossy card stock.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Black Glossy Card Stock.  I was pretty surprised that I still had some in my stash.  But, I thought it would be perfect to use for the frame because I embossed the image.

I adhered the frame on top of the watercolored panel, then used foam tape to adhere that to a top folding notecard.  Easy Peasy!

Oh, and there's a video, too:
