I started by using a paper towel transfer for the background. Click HERE to check out my quick video on YouTube. I inked up just the flowers with watercolour markers, spritzed wth a little bit of water and stamped onto the card panel. I repeated this until I was happy with the depth of colour. I repeated the same procedure with brown ink to stamp the stems and leaves. To finish, the same brown ink was used to stamp the scrolly sentiment which really mimics the flowers.
