Morning. A quick card this a.m. using some loose watercolouring.
I began by stamping the flowers from Stampin Up with black Memento ink. To colour the flowers, I scribbled Memento markers onto my acrylic block and using a paint brush dipped in water, picked up the marker colour to paint the flowers.
I added some blue sponging around the edges for interest and stamped the sentiment.
That's it. Simple and easy.

Oh wow, stunning card, Karen. I love the flowers and the colours are very pretty. Thank you for joining us at CAS on Sunday. Luv, Wilma
It'a amazing how well you make "loose" watercoloring look. Karen.
Another gorgeous card design. I am loving the blues too!
gorgeous painting Karen! How did you keep the Memento Black ink from bleeding? TFS!
What a wistful, beautiful sentiment. And such a perfect pairing with those gorgeous watercolored blooms!!
Gorgeous flowers, Karen, and you know how much I LOVE your blue cards!! Hugs, sweet friend!
hi Pam....sometimes I clear emboss after stamping but I don't think I did that on this one. I find if I heat it a bit it is pretty good not to run.
This is stunning, Karen! LOVE it!
hugs, Asha
Love your blues ... must remember I can use turquoise for the background.
Hi Karen, thanks for your lovely comment!! Your card is just gorgeous, a fabulous image and coloured it keeping it so loose beautifully!!

Karen I love all the new cards since my last visit. I also ordered some brushos from Amazon. I was worried as I have never ordered from there but I guess it will be fine. I have been playing with the brushos. It is so much fun just to play because I have no control on how it is going to turn out. Thank you for inspiring me to just have fun.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, Karen. Love this card, so very pretty. All your flower cards are stunning.
Hugs
