Heartfelt Thanks

Wanted to get another card done using another favorite technique for this week's SimonSaysStamp Wednesday Challenge which is white embossing to create a resist background along with watercoloring. Also, this is for the 30 day color challenge Kathy's is hosting over at The Daily Marker .

Here is my card: 

Wanted to keep this card clean and simple so I started with my stitched white background first by using my blueprints 13 and than took some Summer Splash cardstock and cut out a rectangle. Next, I cut out a pierced rectangle and added the sentiment. 

Stamped the flowers and leaves from the set: Peonies from Avery Elle onto some water color paper first using versamark ink and white embossed it first to create a resist effect when adding color. Next, I played with a mix of colors using my Spectrum Noir Aqua markers by first adding the color to my craft sheet and than picking up color with the water brush.

When I was happy with the colors, I fussy cut them and added some foam mount underneath to build the arrangement. Last but not least, I added some enamel dots to finish this thank-you card.

As always, if you haven't checked out the challenge site, please do so to see more inspiration and plus join in on the last sketch.
