I've just purchased this lovely new set from Tracy Evans stamps and wanted to do a simple watercolour card with this lovely image. I used Versafine Black for the outline and had to use my Tim Holtz stamping platform as it is quite a large stamp.
I used Highland Heather for my purples and varied the colour by adding less or more water. I actually only had Coastal Cabana in an SU Soft Pastel but I think it worked really well. The vase was inked in Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress Ink and I added some of his Distress Crayon in the same colour to add definition. I added a few sparkles and the sentiment from the same set.
I've kept it simple as the image is so lovely.
I'm adding this into the following challenge:
Tic Tac Toe - using the middle horizontal line - birthday, flowers, sequins
Addicted to Stamps - Birthday
Stamping Sensations - flowers

Very stylish Fiona and totally agree that this image needs little more, I need to re-ink mine again as it's not seen much action yet.
A perfect card for our Stamping Sensations theme this month, thank you.
