Today I have a summer birthday card with a lovely watercolored sunflower to share.
I embossed the image with Tree Branch Embossing Powder to give it a subtle outline for my watercoloring. I watercolored with Ranger Distress Inks, rubbing each ink on my craft mat and dipping a wet brush into the color. I used Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Scattered Straw for the flower and background and Twisted Cintron for the leaves. I used just a spot of Walnut Stain to color the center where the seeds would be! I also embossed the sentiment with the same Tree Branch EP.
I'm linking my card to the following challenges:

Ink: Versamark, Ranger Distress Spiced Marmalade, wild Honey, Scattered Straw, Twisted Cintron, Walnut Stain.

Gorgeous, Julia! What a beautiful sunflower!!! And perfect for those other challenges as well! Thanks so much for playing with my colors this week!
Julia, what a wonderful sunflower. Love the colours :)
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL card Julia! Love the image you used and had to chuckle as I had set out all my sunflower stamps, dies, and stencils when we first started this challenge, and I completely forgot that I have the PTI image you used too until I saw your card...think I have too many stamps! But anyway, your card is just lovely! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!! :0)

How beautiful! The sunflower looks gorgeous in watercolor. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players!
So pretty Julia. The embossing powder is light and really makes the details of your bright watercolouring stand out. So pretty! Love the delicate wash in the background. And beautifully framed image too. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx

I used this same stamp for my CAS Watercolor card, Julia, and it looks entirely different with the colors of embossing powder and Distress Inks we chose. I love that about watercoloring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card with us at The Flower Challenge.
