Be Like a Flower

Today I have another card for you using a spectrum pad.  For this card, I stamped the flowers with the Autumn Leaves Kaleidacolor pad on a card made of watercolor paper, and then took my watercolor brush and brushed the tops of some of the flowers.  I loved the look it gives.  I set the card aside to dry and even used a heat gun to make sure it was completely dry before I stamped the sentiment.  I used the Summer Afternoon  set from Taylored Expressions. 
I added a couple of brads and well as a scalloped border.  A quick and simple card that you can whip up in no time! 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  SUPPLIES USED:  Stamps- Summer Afternoon (Taylored Expressions); Ink- Autumn Leaves (Kaleidacolor), Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko); Paper- watercolor, black; Accessories- brads (Making Memories), watercolor brush, scalloped border punch (SU);  Finished card measures 4.25" square

Love the look of this card, the watercolor look of the images with the contrast against the black with black accents. Adorable!
