I decided to use our Watercolor Pencils and Wink of Stella to color this pretty flower from the You Are Remarkable Stamp Set. I love the sentiments in this set.
The Color Combo is from my August Inspiration Calendar - Lemon Lolly, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive.

Tips & Instructions
Gorgeous Grape Card Base - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
Lemon Lolly Layer - 4 x 5-1/2, adhere to the card base.
Basic White Layer - 3-3/4 x 5, stamp the flower in Black Memento Ink. Stamp the dots around the flower in Lemon Lolly Ink.
Color the flower and leaves with Watercolor Pencils and then blend them with Wink of Stella. I used Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive pencils. Color the flower center in Lemon Lolly Ink. I did this by pressing a small clear block onto the ink pad and then picked up ink with the Wink of Stella Brush and painted the image.
Be sure to clean your Wink of Stella brush between colors by brushing it on a piece of scrap paper until it’s clear.Adhere the stamped layer to the card.
Stamp the sentiment on a 1-1/4 strip of Basic White in Old Olive Ink. Cut a banner at the bottom.
Banner the bottom of a 1-3/8 strip of Old Olive and cut a little longer than the white banner. Adhere the banner pieces together. Adhere to the card with Dimensionals.
Tie a bow with 2 strands of Linen Thread and adhere to the banner with a Glue Dot.
On the inside layer (4 x 5-1/4), stamp sentiment in Old Olive Ink. Stamp the flower in Black Memento Ink and color it like the one on the front.
I love the shine from the Wink of Stella on the flower, so pretty in person.
