I coloured the flower and leaves using a set of Staedtler Watercolour brush pens. I added the colour starting with the palest pink and then a darker pink and purple, and two different greens for the leaves. After each application I used my waterbrush to spread and blend the colour. Not a perfect blend but considering these were not very expensive I thought they worked well, and on ordinary smooth card, it pilled a little but not too badly. I used a circle mask and stamped using a Chocolate Baroque stamp called Edgy Edges and heat embossed using WOW Metallic Platinum Embossing Powder. I stamped it twice to cover the circle. I then added some Adirondack Shell Pink Ink blended over the embossed circle. I finished by adding one of the Crafty Individuals Floral Flourishes and Swirls heat embossing with the same EP, and added a sentiment from the freebie set using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss EP.
