This is my latest card made with a Rubbernecker image. It’s also my blog banner! Maybe you could tell from my blog title that I love to watercolor! And there’s nothing more fun to color than a beautiful tropical flower like this Grand Hibiscus. This card was made for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com. The featured artist this week is Nancy Riley (stampinat6213) of iStamp and here is her card that inspired me. I kept the floral theme and used similar colors, but flipped the card to a horizontal layout to fit my image better. I stamped the flower 3 times, masking the middle one before I stamped the other 2. I used Ranger Distress inks and my waterbrush to paint the flowers. I just LOVE the rich colors of the Distress inks. The edges were sponged and then the card was assembled.

That is a piece of art!!! I LOVE how you colored the flowers, and really like that you do the waterbrush-distress ink thing, I love doing that too. My fav is the fired brick, you can get a million different shades of red from that one 🙂
