HELLO my sweet friends.  I hope your are still hanging in there if you are in the midst of the winter doldrums. I am feeling for you as I am feeling it as well. I'm so ready for spring so of course I pulled out some pretty spring flowers to color.  I took on two mediums with the exact same layout.  Water colors gave me bright and beautiful yellow blooms and alcohol markers on kraft gave me a muted more subtle look.  I love them both and had two completed cards in less then 30 minutes.  

To start I used impression obsession black ink, and then just the sentiment I added a layer of Versamark then embossed with clear embossing powder. 

For my first card I used the wonderful liquid watercolor paints I picked up on clearance last year.  I am in awe at how pretty and vibrant the colors are and how well they blend.   Makes me want the entire set! It's Brea Reese Cadmium Yellow Glitter.  I painted the area I wanted to color, then I just added the color towards the center of the flower and let it blend out on it's on.  So quick and easy.  And looks so sparkly and pretty.  

For this card I started with the same image, just a little different placement.  Heat embossed the sentiment.  I colored using copic markers.  Super quick and easy for a perfect card that is mail friendly with no bumps or baubles to worry about.  

I played along with the SCS challenges TLC730, CC726, CAS521
