PTI's February 2015 Blog Hop

 
My card for PTI February 2015 Blog Hop 
I usually have this all made up before hand and completely forgot about it until yesterday.
But after working in the yard for a couple hours all I could do is sit down, read and take a nap....
So this is what I came up with this morning.
I used Clear Wink of Stella and Distress Inks to watercolor this.  It is a technique that Jennifer McGuire showed on her blog.  Love the effect and the shine that it gives to the card.
PTI's Botanical Blocks, white & black cardstock, 3 Rainstones
Distress Inks Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar

    Gorgeous. I love how you created that frame around the flower. I need to use that stamp set more often.
