One of my favorite things about Altenew is their amazing floral designs. So for my today’s card I used my favorite Forever in Love stamp set.
I've started by stamping the images from this stamp set with Antique Linen distress ink onto piece of watercolor paper and watercolored the images using my favorite watercolors.

I watercolored the flowers using coral pink paint and the leaves with blue-green mixed with sepia.
Once my coloring was done, I splattered the flowers with the leftover paint and also with pearlescent paint. Next, I’ve die cut the images with coordinating dies.

I slightly watercolored the background with brown paint and splattered it with the leftover paint and also pearlescent paint. I adhered the flowers on top of my panel with foam tape and mounted my card onto light grey card base.
I white heat embossed the sentiment from Extra Special stamp set onto tiny stripe of black cardstock and finished my card with clear sequins and pearls.
