Vintage Flowers

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made over the last several days coloring it only as I felt up to it.  My card is using Gecko Galz Background Check digital stamp set.

Once I was done printing the image at 3.5x5, to make it easier to color, I pulled out my Castle Arts watercolor pencils and colored the flowers, stems, butterfly and bee blending the colors using a blending pencil.  Once I was finished, I blended Tim Holtz tea dye and old paper distress inks using my blending brushes.   After layering the colored image, and added rose colored brads, I adhered it to my card using glue dots.  The final touch was adding some flat-backed vanilla pearls that found in my stash, never having been used.
