The card above has a smooshed background of Distress Inks (wild honey, spiced marmalade, and ripe persimmon). Once dry, I stamped the bouquet of tulips in Archival Black ink (permanent) and then watercoloured the flowers with more ripe persimmon distress ink. A simple sentiment was stamped to finish the card.
