Jaded Blossom Monthly Challenge ~ Flowers

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I'm sharing my project for Jaded Blossom's Monthly Challenge.Our theme is FLOWERS.  I hope you'll join us.  Just be sure you use a Jaded Blossom stamp or die on your project and link to the Jaded Blossom blog.
I decided to used water colors for my project.

First I water colored the background looking at the image to guide where I applied the color.Then I stamped the image and heat embossed it using Gold Detail embossing powder.I went back with my Karin Water Color pens and added a little more depth to the color both in the flowers and leaves and the background.I also heat embossed the sentiment.
These are the Jaded Blossom products I used:Rectangle Dies 1 & 2Flag DiesFlower ClusterSo Many Birthdays 2
I look forward to seeing the Flower project you share.  Our challenge winner gets their choice of a Jaded Blossom stamp set.
