Welcome to Verve's Better Together Release Hop! There's a brand new Verve set releasing today and we're celebrating with a blog hop!
This is a fun set with some great sentiments, awesome fonts, and a fun little graphic image!
I've been really wanting to do some water coloring, so I took this opportunity to give it a go:)
I just used a really basic Prang watercolor set and picked three blue/green colors for my pallette. First I embossed that dotted image in white ep on watercolor paper. Then I created a wash, which the embossing resisted! Pretty cool:)
I used the flowers from Dream Big (and cut out with the Scalloped Flowers die) and the leaves (and matching Elegant Leaves die) from Bloom & Grow.

I don't know if OMG even gives credit to how awesome your card is - it is stunning to the eye. You have sold me on this set - I gotta have it. Thanks for the description on how you did it - I am definitely going to try this out. Love the colors you worked with and the sentiment on the vellum is perfect!
I'd buy this set just for the great graphic stamp alone! You really rocked that look with your card, it's super!
