A very light blue cardstock was used for the card. I used a slightly darker blue for the 5¼ x 4" panel. I used Dreamweaver translucent Embossing Paste with a Heidi Swapp polka dot stencil. The paste dries clear and adds some tone-on-tone dimension.
The watering can and flowers is a stamp from Posy Patch Garden Delights by Heartfelt Creations. I colored the can, flowers and leaves with Prismacolor colored pencils and blended with Gamsol mineral spirits. I love this technique!
I stamped the sentiment on the same color cardstock I used for the card base. The sentiment is from Encouraging Words by Stampendous! I heat embossed with Ultra Fine Clear embossing powder from The Stamp Addict and added some silver ribbon.
