Its Monday so time for a new challenge at Make My Monday
and still following the FLORAL theme as your main image
we would like to see the colours, white, pink and green.
I used a Stampendous cling stamp no. CRR112. I directly applied colour to the stamp using Whispers Strokes, spritzed with water and stamped onto water colour paper that had also had a light spritz of water. I dragged some of the colour to fill in the image with a damp brush. I also added a much lighter pink here and there. I wanted to achieve a light water colour effect. I stamped in the same way a second time and cut out the flowers. The cut flowers where shaped then a tiny amount of Glamour Dust added in an hap hazard way.
This shows the shaped, layered blooms.
This shows the layers of water colour paper
I stamped a third time and cut out one of the smaller blooms coloured the same way, added Diamond Glaze and sprinkled in some Glamour Dust. The GD obliterated the detail in the flower so this was added once the DG was dry. The sentiment tag is from Stamping all day
You can just see a small amount of text in the bottom right.. I forgot to take a photo :o(
This is the last week of my choices and I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I've enjoyed seeing all your lovely work... its been very hard to choose the top three!
Enjoy your day

Gorgeous card Suzi, I love the torn layers and that fabulous stamp. The bakers twine finishes it off perfectly :)

I just adore this card Suzi - fabulous use of watercolour paper. When I first glanced at your card, I thought you'd created ribbon roses, they looked so 3D. After reading your post and taking a closer look, I see how you've constructed it. A gorgeous creation !

This is a beautifully delicate card with the watercolour effects - love it and thanks for sharing the details. I've enjoyed your month of floral themes.
A really gorgeous card Sue and that stamp is a favourite of mine. Just love the soft colours and 3D look along with the shabby and distressed elements.
Have a good week.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Your card made me gasp out loud Sue - it's just beautiful! I love the flowers and the way you've torn and inked the edges of your water colour paper, then layered them is brilliant. Bakers twine is the perfect finishing touch too. Glad you're enjoying the weather; 'slurp' of red wine made me giggle - you're not drinking it from the bottle are you?!! Vicky x
wow Suzi your card is stunning, loving your colour choice and the wonderful blooms. x
