Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #336 - Flowers

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend and another

fun theme challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

Our hostess this week is Krafty Girl Alexis 

and her challenge theme for us is...FLOWERS!

The criteria are pretty easy for this one  - as long as we can see flowers 

somewhere on your creation you are qualified to link up your entry

(you can have flowers on the paper, on ribbon, in or on the image, 

or added flowers as an embellishment).  Easy peasy right?!

I used two beautiful summery stamps on my card today

Butterfly Dreams and Buds and Blooms 

I began by masking the flowers and heat embossing the 

stamped images on a panel of watercolor paper and

then directly dabbing my mini distress ink pads 

on the stamped/embossed images (using the corners of

the pads and dotting within the image with large and small

dabs - trying not to completely fill in the image).  

Then I spritzed the panel with water to let the colors

blend a little but the watercolor paper I used is very

heavily textured and the colors didn't spread out as much

as I anticipated that they would so I used a brush

and added more water to blend out the inks some more.

As a last touch I added some pretty sequins. 

Do you supposed I get bonus points for having the 

word "Flowers" on my card? :o)  

I'm really happy with how it turned out!  Hope you like it too! 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
