My thoughts are with you

Hi there,

I created this pastel watercolor card with the brand new Karten-Kunst Scribble Roses stamp set:

• stamp several of the roses from the Karten-Kunst Scribble Roses set with Versamark onto a panel of watercolor paper and heat-emboss them with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• color the roses with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens
• add splatters with watered-down black acrylic paint
• stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Aus der Schreibmaschine 2 set with Versamark onto a strip of black paper and heat-emboss it with that same white embossing powder
• add a strip of black cardstock to the left and right of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase
