The digital stamp I am using is




This is the card I have made.
I reduced the size of the digital image on the computer to fit the Spellbinder labels 4 die I wanted to use, and printed it out onto water colour paper.


I used my Stabilo 68 water colour pens to paint the image and then attached it with foam tape to my die cut background which I had mounted onto mauve glitter paper. 
The sentiment I cut out with a fancy tag die and finished the card off with a bow I had hand dyed the ribbon for and some flat back pearls.

This Fuchsia set is tied with the Sunflower set as my favorites. We have fuchsias in NC and they are a joy! TFS!

Oh Helen this is another of your beautiful works of art! Your water colouring is also amazing and I never realised you could use those markers to water colour with until I watched your videos. I must look and see if I can find them here.

PS. Just wondering, how did you make sure that your printer ink didn't run with the water colouring?
