I have a new stamp set from which I selected one stamp. I stamped it several times with Distress ink (Dried Marigold), then painted the flowers with purple watercolor. To make them look really crisp I painted first every other petal, then went in and painted the petals in between. That way every petal had its own watercolor outline, too. When you combine orange and purple you get brown - look at the overpainted Dried Marigold, it's so gorgeous.
I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them onto a background that I made recently with my Gelli plate. The card needed little else. I wound a length of silver thread around the card base and added "For you" in black die cut letters.
