Watercolour View #2

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I couldn't stop with one card for Virginia's View Watercolour Challenge and this card has two more types of watercolour techniques on it and some watercoloury patterned paper. I've used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #68 and lots of Paper Smooches stamps and dies and had a go at some inlaid die cutting.

The flowers are diecut from some watercolour card which had been daubed in distress ink on my craft sheet. I misted the distress ink with glimmer mist and sprayed a little white paint on it too.

The bookmark is stamped using a watercolour mixture. I applied distress inks on an acrylic block, misted and then inked my stamps with the watery liquid.

I like the idea of including a little gift with the card, so a part of it goes on!
