Watercolor flowers.....What? ...no copics!

        Don't you just love a good find especially when you least expect it?  Found these great stamps on clearance at Michaels for $3.25.  Since it was Friday, I got an extra 10% Teacher's Discount.  Every little bit helps.  I love doing watercolor flowers...no two are ever alike.  Another survey showed that pastels were the least fun medium to use. I already mentioned yellow is the least favorite single color to use as main color on a card. When you are told to have something "pop"and eye catching on a card, I can understand how using just pastels could be a challenge.  I've never thought about using the Colorbok at Walmart.  Still thinking I'm somewhat new at cardmaking, looking at so many blogs I got the impression that  "I must" use expensive designer paper or people would think it was cheap and yucky.  I've changed!!!

5x5, jewels, stitching, old funny cut scissors, mulberry flowers, embellishments...oops, some petals got twisted, and MS leaf punch, 3 different paper patterns, but flowers cover some up
