Today's card features my favourite floral stamp...'Sketched Flowers' by Simon Says Stamp. I stamped it on to watercolour paper using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it in white. I stuck the paper down on to a piece of board using masking tape, then brushed over the entire piece with water, before blending watercolour paints over the top in a rainbow pattern. Once dry, I trimmed it down, then added a sentiment from the same stamp set, distressed the edges, and matted it on to some black card (distressing the edges of that too), before adding it to a card blank.
