I started with a piece of watercolour paper, sprinkled with three colours of Brushos (Violet, Turquoise, Leaf Green) and spritzed with lots of water. I love the deep, saturated colours you get from Brushos. Once the panel was dry, I cut it to size and then splattered with diluted silver re-inker. I die-cut a row of flowers in white card stock and secured it over top of my Brushos panel. I stamped the sentiment (Stampendous Brushed Wishes - retired) using Silver Delicata ink. I die-cut the flowers (Memory Box Painted Flower Stems - retired) a second time so I could layer another flower head on top, which gives the flowers more depth ... this was to cover up a stray brushos that ended up on one of my original row of flowers. :) I finished by glued silver half-pearls to the centers of my flowers.
