Spritz watercolor paper with water and set it aside. Press an acrylic stamp block onto the Caribbean Sea Inkpad to transfer a layer of inks to the block. Spritz the block with water, tilt it from side to side to blend the inks. Press the block onto the damp watercolor paper. Repeat - if necessary - to ink the entire piece of paper.

Air-dry it for a few minutes, then spritz it lightly with Grape Jelly. Spritz it again with Pear Tart. Air-dry it, then heat-set the inks. Cut it with the Stitched Rectangle Layer Die.

Stencil Zippy Dots along the bottom with Electric Purple and heat-set the ink.

Cut Splendid Clarkia from Dill Cardstock and remove the petals and centers of the flowers. Cut it again from Wisteria and attach pieces of Scor-Tape behind the flowers to keep the pieces intact.

Attach the Dill diecut to the background. Attach the trimmed Wisteria flowers over it - slightly offset, to create a shadow illusion. Attach light turquoise sequins.

Thanks for visiting...have a great weekend!
