I stamped the image using Versafine Majestic Blue Ink and coloured it using Spectrum Noir pencils. I used my set of Tonic Scalloped Square Nesting Dies to cut the top layer then another layer from blue card using the next largest die and layered them up on a 6" square white card. I finished it with the sentiment also stamped with the same blue ink.

This card is so very pretty Pat, I love the effect of the blue stamping and your beautiful colouring. The watercolour background is lovely too, and I like the way the scalloped die cuts frame it all so prettily.

Those unexpected pieces sometimes make the best backgrounds, Pat. The softly colored flowers go perfectly with it. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to Stamps and More.
