Less is More with Penny Black

Penny Black is teaming up with Less is More challenge, which is to use a rubber stamp to make a CAS card, and to use watercolors.  Here's my entry:

I feel this Scented Message stamp is the perfect one for this challenge, because it needs very little coloring.   I've used it several times before, surrounded by design papers, ribbons, and embellishments, but I think it looks just as nice done simply like this. After stamping and embossing the image on watercolor paper, I simply colored in the flowers and leaves, using my watercolor pencils, and then went back in with a wet paintbrush and smoothed out the colors.  I tore the edges before mounting the panel on a pale blue notecard, and added some tiny blue pearls under the seal.

Thanks for visiting today!
