The previous two cards had all three of the Easy Elegance flowers on them. For this card I only used one of the floral stems. I've been going though a major clean out of my home and part of that was sorting through organizing and, yes, even reducing my scrap stash. I have a file folder full to brimming with designer paper scraps. While working with this stamp set I remembered a scrap I had found of a paper that had a floral motif very similar to this stamp. Digging through the scraps again I found it and this is the resulting card. Once again the image was colored with my water color markers, spritzed with water and stamped onto water color paper. I pulled out another favorite tool to distress the edges of the water color paper to give a torn appearance to the rectangular piece, I think the jagged edges work well with the somewhat irregular appearance of the watercolor stamped image,
All in all I like the look of this card.
Tomorrow I'm move on to my use of the Polka Dot and Paisley set. It was a very challenging set to use. I needed to get some major inspiration and help from the Split Coast Stamper gallery for this set.
