Time for another card for the
Spring is almost here although the weather where I live still feels like winter.
Today, I am playing with this wonderful new stamp from Penny Black called Awaken. If you enjoy colouring or watercolouring you will love this image.
I began by stamping the image using Versamark ink then white heat embossed on watercolour paper.
Using my Zig makers, I coloured in areas of my flowers then used a wet paintbrush to watercolour them in. When it was dry, I cut it out along the outside edge.
Next, I placed the Penny Black sentiment from the Happy Wishes set, inked it with black Archival ink and stamped.
I pop dotted my card front over a piece of dark green cardstock to help the cut edge flowers show up.
Added 3 pearls to finish my card off.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says Wed.- BIT O' GREEN
Stampin Royalty- SPRING
The Crafty Addicts- ANYTHING GOES/ CAS
Word Art Wednesday- ANYTHING GOES
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps- PB/ ink- Archival/ Zig markers/ paintbrush/ white eb powder/ heat tool/ pearls

Gorgeous card Karen, your colors are so vibrant.... it makes me smile....
I LOVE these colors, Karen! And this layout is amazing with the petals off the edge! The darker background makes them even prettier!
Your flowers are so bright and beautiful, Karen! And I love the way you've fussy-cut around the image to create an "outside the box" edge. The deep green in-behind really shows off the flowers. xx
Beautiful flowers, the colors shine very well.
Wow Karen, what a stunner, love that orange flower. Absolutely eye catching.
Your coloring is gorgeous with the white embossed stamping Karen! Julia xx
These flowers are really bright and beautiful and wonderfully coloured too Karen and the white embossing suits them perfectly and love the dark green strip down the side. x
Gorgeous in every way. I love the white embossing and those beautiful colors you did the flowers in.
Karen, this is lovely. Did you use watercolor paper? I'd love to know your paper use recommendations for the variety of coloring styles you use. Would you share those with us?
Love your vibrant colours, Karen - so happy and sunny! And the fussy cut edge adds great extra interest.

OOooh! This is just pure beauty. I saw it on FB, but didn't realize it was _your_ card. Lovely image with marvelous watercoloring. Interesting to read the technique you used to get this look, (oh that I could w/c so well!) and I like the out-of-frame look that you've done with the flower. PB would be so proud that you have made the flowers look so beautiful. TFS
gorgeous colors!! thank you for playing along with us at simon says wednesday challenge!
FABULOUS, love the white stamping which shows off the vibrant colour of the flowers.

I am loving this beautiful card. Fabulous water coloring and pretty colors. I water colored to cards yesterday for the SCS challenge. I did not upload either. I think I just need to stick to admiring yours. :) Thanks, for sharing.
