Birthday Blooms Painted with Love

I know, I know, it's Friday and it's a new As You See It Challenge day, and I don't have a sample for the Design Team. Well, it's a long story, but this is the first time I've missed a challenge in...well, since we got the challenge back up and running over a year ago. But there was so much work surrounding the Craft Crop last weekend, and then I had to leave a day and a half later for my visit with my daughter, and meantime, I had to get my newsletter out, for which I didn't even get time to do a tutorial, which I'll have to complete next week and..well, you get the picture. Here, by the way is the challenge banner for this week. I hope you'll be able to give it a try.

Anyway, I did happen to have this sample that I completed at the crop. (Why didn't I do a challenge sample instead? I'll never know!)

• This combines some of my favourite things - Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, Birthday Blooms stamp set, embossing with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Glossy White Cardstock and watercolouring, wet-on-wet using an Aqua Painter!
• I love the glassy, watery look that you get with the wet-on-wet technique and the White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Here I used shades of Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive, and So Saffron and Crushed Curry.
• The Gold Foil Sheet backing both the DSP and the sentiment (also from Birthday Blooms) echos the gold foil in the DSP.

 I am thinking that I will do this card as my late Free Tutorial for March. Maybe it will make up for being late:

If I do a video tutorial, I can demonstrate the very cool background technique I used here.
