613 Avenue Create #195-Anything Goes-Option Use a Rubber Stamp

It seems I got a bit turned around on our challenge at 613 Avenue Create this week.  I didn't create an ATG; I created a card.  Oops!  But I did use a rubber stamp, which is the option.  A few months ago, I won some blog candy from Stampendous:  10 sheets of beautiful Graphics 45 double sided paper and two rubber stamps!  Needless to say, I was delighted.  So for this challenge, I was more than happy to use the Cyclamen Cling Stamp.

After using my MISTI  and my new Creative Corners to stamp off the edge of  the panel, I used a total new to me technique - loose water coloring.  I smooshed Distress Inks on my kraft sheet, spritzed the ink with water and went to work.  I am really happy with how it turned out.  I even managed a bit of shading.  After the flowers were dry, I painted the background.  I stamped the sentiment and added some Nuvo Drops.Then I cut the panel down a bit, mounted it on black card stock and glued it to the card base.
