Watercolour Spritz technique was used for the card above. I placed my stamp in the misti, coloured with Stampin' Up! markers, spritzed with water and stamped onto watercolour paper. I reinked the stamp a few times to add more colour ... and used a paint brush to move some of the wet colour around.
A simple stamped sentiment and splattering of green ink finishes the card.
I hope you'll find time to check out the reminder post on the CAS Watercolour challenge blog. There are more inspirational cards from our wonderful Guest Designer, Marcia ... and the rest of our talented Design Team.

Great technique and it's worked so well. I do get in such a mess when I try this technique but I will persevere! Pretty colour combination and faublous card x. Thanks for the inspiration x
Beautiful card, Loll. 💕 You make these techniques look so easy when they're probably not. 😉

This is the only water color technique I'm not completely afraid of! :) Love your results, so artsy and pretty!
It's so hard to get just the right amount of water with this technique, but you've mastered it, dear friend! So pretty and springlike!
Loll, what an outstanding job you've done with this technique. I have rarely got such a crisp image with a wonderful watery look like you do. Love this!
It turned out perfectly - just the right amount of water for a watercolour look while still retaining the shape of the image!
WOW!! This is beautiful. Great technique with stunning results .... the colours are pretty too xx
Beautiful effect and such a pretty card Loll

Beautiful watercoloured technique, Loll for your pretty Bejeweled flowers. TFS and inspiring me to get out my Bejeweled stamp. TFS my friend. Hugs..
This technique makes it look like you watercolored this flower! Lovely!
Have tried this technique but without the Misti so being able to go back in with added color sounds like a winner. In your talented hands, it is! Very pretty and soft look...I like the size of the image and the green splatters.
So many times I've almost bought this stamp. I love how it looks with this technique, Loll. You may be enabling me again.
the colours are so soft, great spritzing
Such a pretty card Loll! I love that stamp and how perfect it looks using the spritzing and the oh so lovely pink and green inks! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
love this stamp used with the pink and green Loll...so pretty.
