Curtain Call - Bouquet - 4-15-15

A card for Curtain Call 

 
Using the colors in the bouquet I created this background paper.  I heat embossed the flowers and then watercolored with Distress Inks
Then I smooshed another piece of watercolor paper with the same Distress Inks
and cut out the frame which cuts out two pieces using the outside piece.  Then I popped the sentiment piece on fun foam.

The Card Concept #33 & MFT #224

One card for two challenges 
My inspiration was the colors and shapes
My Favorite Things Sketch 224 
And used this sketch
I see I forgot to add the four little circles at the bottom.

A card for two challenges.
 
 
Smooshing has been a struggle for me, but I think I got it right this time.  I like how it turned out.
Then did a little rocking & rolling with two colors on the  flowers and butterfly.  I tried sponging on the stamps, but I just don't get a good image from that.
