Watercolor Flowers Tutorial with Fifth Avenue Floral set (Stampin' UP)

Do you remember the Watercolor Flowers I posted on Saturday? 

I told you I was going to share a tutorial on how to do this beautiful technique and it went live on Monday morning over at Paper Craft Planet. You can view the full tutorial here: Watercolor Flowers Tutorial  

I originally found this technique on Kerin Sylvester's blog and fell in love with the look. Kerin has quite a few projects on her blog showcasing the many ways you can use this technique. It's no wonder I was drawn to it...she has a very beautiful style and pulls off this technique with flair! Thanks, Kerin!

When you check out the Tutorial I created, you'll see how to do the technique and then you can make the card you see here! 

I started with Mellow Moss as my base card and stamped the large rose image (from the Fifth Avenue Floral set - Stampin' Up) on the cardstock with the same color ink, to create a tone-on-tone effect. I stamped the greeting (from the same set) at the bottom with Basic Brown ink.

I used watercolor paper, white embossing powder and More Mustard ink for my Watercolor Rose. It's amazing the different looks you can get with this one image by just changing the colors of the re-inker you use for your flower. I went a bit heavy on the re-inker for this rose because I was trying to get a deep, rich orange-yellow look to the rose.

I mounted a piece of So Saffron cardstock on top of a piece of Close to Cocoa cardstock and then put that on top of my card base.

The rose was put on top with some pop-dots for extra dimension.

Why not take your Aqua Painter or paint brushes out, dust them off and use them again with this technique. It's VERY easy and you'll find yourself just as in love with it as Kerin and I have become!

Many men suffer from erectile dysfunction with a wide range of severity. Some are impotent to the point of not being able to perform at all, while others merely have a problem that affects them partially or every once in a while. The market for prescription medication that addresses erectile dysfunction is huge, in the billions, with a crowded field of meds that try to differentiate themselves through claims ranging from lower side effect profiles to being able to work at very low doses. Yet what these various choices have in common is that they are powerful synthetic prescriptions that a man has to go to his doctor for.
