Watercolor Mini Gerbera on Die Cut Divas

 Hi there,

Hope you're doing well.  It's April 1st, but I am just sharing a pretty card, no joke.  

April's challenge theme on Die Cut Divas is Watercolors!  Yay, watercolor is one of my favorite media.  Our sponsor is Altenew, and the challenge prize is:

Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set valued at $49.99 USD

For my card, I used the Altenew Mini Gerbera stamp set.  I stamped the flowers and leaves on a light weight mix media paper, applied watercolored, and hand cut.

I simply applied watercolor onto the flowers, did not take time to put shadow down on all the petals, just had fun with it.  After the watercolor dried, I choose an alcohol marker with similar color and just added shadow in the center, and that was good enough for me.  I am really not trying to make the flowers looks like they were photographed.

I added some glamour glitter to the center of the flowers for more interests.  Then I adhered them to a card front, on which I stenciled, and die cut.

I glue one flower in the inside of the card to dress it up.  And it's fun to see that flower thru the die cut window on the front.  I added the sentiment banner, and embellished with Warm Grey enamel dots.
