Watercolor Roses Thank You card

I had no idea where I was going with this card other than the fact that I wanted to try out the no-line water coloring technique.  So I started out with a Tim Holtz watercolor paper card front in an A-2 card size.   I stamped the image  from  HOTP watercolor roses stamp set in the lightest distress ink color that I own which is old paper.   I then used other distress inks in two shades of pink and a green to watercolor my image in.

After the water coloring was finished and dried I decided instead of fussy cutting around the image I would just use the whole panel and I decided to cut it down with the pretty edgeables lattice Flourish die from  crafters companion.  I really liked how that turned out then I went and searched my stash and found a scrap of some pretty watercolor pattern paper in pink and green stripes.   I stamped "thank you" from the same HOTP watercolor roses stamp set before adhering the two layers together.

I took the other piece of the watercolor paper that was left over after diecutting and painted it all over with the same pink watercolors.   I then took my cheery Lynn exotic butterflies and die-cut from that water colored panel the 3 butterflies.   After adhering the butterflies down I simply added some green and lilac dew drops to accent and finish off my card.
