Watercolour Rose

Today's card is using 5th Ave Floral and I've used the splash watercolour technique. There's lots of these cards on show at the moment and I really love the effect.
For my card I've used the Splitcoast Colours for this week: Baja Breeze, Ruby Red and Whisper White. I've stamped the rose in white ink onto some white cardstock. This cardstock is not Stampin'Up, but I use it for my watercoloured images because it doesn't soak up the water too quickly. I've sprinkled some white embossing powder over the image and then embossed with the heatgun.
Then I've sprayed a generous amount of water onto the cardstock, so you get pools of water on the rose petals. With my aqua painter, I've picked up colour from the ink pad lid and coloured in. Some people also use re-inkers, but seeing at I didn't have the right colours, I did it this way! Apply colour until you hare happy with the depth of colour. I also added some small touches of Pacific Point to high light.

Here's a close up of the rose - it's just gorgeous in real life and I love how the embossing give a shine to the rose.

I've finished off the card with a sentiment from Best Yet and used various punches to layer it.
