I started by using Dusty Concord and Bundled Sage Markers to colour the rose. Spritzed with some water and stamped in the corner. I then used water colour brushes and water with the spray inks to colour the flower. I let it dry and then using the markers again, over stamped moving ever so slightly. I then used the three spays to spritz the card. When it was all dry, I used the Winnie & Walter stamp to ink my sentiment. Just loving these bold and typewriter sentiments together. So much choice. I then decided to layer it on an angle on the mat, for a bit of variety. Finished with some sequins.
As I think this is CAS despite all the sprays... I'm entering it into the challenge at CASology ~ Cue word Flower and into the Monday Challenge at Simon Says ~ Botanical.
And I'm leaving you with a photo I took last evening.
I could hear a bird singing and when I looked up I saw this Thrush in the plum tree. He had a beautiful voice.

Beautiful card!
your card is so pretty done in those colors! i have a robin's nest on my deck with 4 babies - mama is never happy with me when i go out to water my flowers!
Beautifully done, Dawn, and a lovely pairing of that fantastic sentiment stamp with the watercolored rose! Love the splatters and the sequins, too.
Goodness, I wish I was your recipient this month Dawn as this is one heck of a fabulous card! Jo x
Very pretty - love the splattered look on the background, I'll have to investigate! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
Popped in to leave you some love on your SGC sparkly gorgeous card, but found this divine one instead. Love your experiment with inks. I have to get messier and inkier. Love your amazing layouts and designs. This one is gorgeous! Hugs, Wends x
Dawn this is amazing - the hidden artist is no longer hidden :-).
I was walking the other day and passed a tree with a thrush singing beautifully. We also have tuis around us this time of year through until spring - bliss.
