Watercolor Dahlias

I keep seeing white mats on white cardstock and I like the look. Watercolor techniques also seem to be hot right now, so I thought I'd combine the two.

Instructions

1. Create card base with Pool Party Cardstock
2. Cut Whisper White cardstock mat at 5 1/4" x 4"
3. Cut Whisper White cardstock stamping panel at 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
4. Rub stamping panel with Embossing Buddy
5. Stamp Dahlia from Regarding Dahlias Stamp set in Versamark in the left hand corner of the stamping panel
6. Add Pool Party embossing powder, heat emboss
7. Squeeze Pool Party Ink pad, color the non-lined petals with the Aqua Painter, picking up ink from the lid of the ink pad
8. Stamp sentiment from the Regarding Dahlias stamp set
9. Add ribbon and knot, adhere with Sticky Strip
10. Add Pearls
11. Adhere Whisper White mat on the cardstock base
12. Adhere stamped panel on the mat with dimensionals
