I stamped the image in soft tan colour ink so that I could no-line watercolour. But it was hard to figure out how the petals were formed. I used the photo of the watercoloured rose on it's packaging and just did a really quick bit of outlining with a fine black marker. It made it so much easier for me to watercolour. I used distress inks and a waterbrush. Once it was done, I splattered with a bit of green ink and stamped the sentiment in black to tie it to the black outlining.

This is so pretty, Loll, what a lovely design. xx
that rose certainly is pretty and you've colored it so beautifully, Loll!
Beautiful, Loll, and a nice fix...it looks like the outline came just as you had drawn it in!
so pretty Loll, love the lined outline to show make the image standout. I love that stamp :)
Love how you added the fine black lines to your beautiful water coloring. So fun to borrow a friends stamp too. That image is just gorgeous (sigh.) I may have to shop again!
A gorgeous image and so beautifully coloured Loll. The fine black lines have given the image some form, and look so right.

This is so pretty Loll, beautifully coloured and I love the splatters in the background too xx
Such a pretty stamp, beautifully coloured. I too would have had to add a little darker line to help me out a little. Fabulous card Loll and so beautiful x

That certainly is a beautiful stamp and you have made a beautiful card with it! I love the fine black line, it just makes that pretty flower pop. Great background too! Hugs, Brenda
That was a great idea to add the fine black lines - it really gave nice definition. And your colouring is beautiful - gorgeous shades. And great splattering.
I cannot get on with no line watercolouring at all Loll! This is a gorgeous stamp and love this card (as always!) x
Sooooooooooooooooo beautiful Loll. Stunning watercolouring. Soft and subtle. The fine black lines really made the difference.
This is super gorgeous.. those colours are so pretty. No line watercolouring is in my to do list.
This rose is beautiful, Loll! I love the fine sketched lines that show the petals and the crisp sentiment! So pretty.....
OMGosh Loll! this card just makes me say ooooh! so soft and dreamy. Beautifully done!!
Gorgeous Loll...I LOVE your beautifully watercolored flower and lining with a fine liner. Your splatters add wonderful texture too. I have this flower on my wishlist because of Susan and now because of you, my friend. Hugs..
Oh, ladies, if you could only see this card in person, the way I've been privileged to do! It is even more gorgeous! Lolly, in addition to the sensational painting, you did a professional and fabulous job with the black lines and the splattering! Thank you again!! Hugs, Dolly
Such a beautiful card. I love how the black lines define the petals but it is still looks soft and delicate.
This is so pretty, Loll! The stamp itself is lovely but your watercoloring and splattering (with masking?) make the rose look fantastic! Love that you added the fine black outlines. They did give a nice definition. Hideko xx
The black lines look like they are part of the stamp and perfectly done. The watercolor is pretty and you do splatters so well.
Soft, artsy and so very pretty, Loll ... the sketchy outlining is perfect with the style of that lovely bloom! Hugs, Anita :)
Wonderful card, Loll. Love the splatters and your beautiful colouring. xx
So lovely, Loll.
Your crafting get together with Susan and Christine was well worth it Loll, as you have made the best use of this beautiful rose stamp and the watercolouring is brilliant. x

Your rose has such beautiful colors, I love how they penetrate, creating a final effect. Delicate spotting of the background adds even more attention to the card.
