Here’s the details…

  • Daffodil Delight – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Watercolor Paper – 3 3/4 x 5 – scribble Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight pencils on the paper and use an AquaPainer to evenly spread and blend the colors.  Once dry, stamp flowers/stems in Versamark and black emboss.  I then used a soft tissue to gently rub off access and finish blending.  Layer only Real Red 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, add to card front.
