Art Impressions Watercolor Flowers

I created this watercolor card using the rubber stamps, sepia ink pad, die based markers, watercolor paper,

a paintbrush and the instruction book from Art Impressions Rubber Stamps.

I wanted the image to be the main focus so I kept it simple and mounted the

watercolored image to a magenta colored cardbase.

This will be going to the Senior center to help cheer up the seniors who don't get visitors.
