MIM #109 - Watercolor and Embossing

This is another masculine Birthday card  using the Make It Monday technique shown HERE .

PTI products:  
Cardstock ~  Stamper's Select White
Stamps ~ Spriral Bouquet and Beautiful Butterflies

I added Tattered Angels' Pomegranate glimmer mist to the Ditto turquoise and green instead of re-inkers for the solid flower stamp and stamped over the outline stamps with white embossing powder.
The patterned paper (kinda looks like a water-colored design) panel underneath is from K&Company.I added the brownish/greenish ribbon, but still think it's masculine enough.

  1. This is so pretty. I don't think I've ever seen the stamp set you used--but it is so very pretty. How did you get your inks to blend so nicely? Mine just turned to brown.
