<p>I created my card using the stamp set from Joy Clair, <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/products/hugs-and-smile-clear-stamps?aff=7"><strong>Hugs and Smiles</strong></a>. First, I created the background with some Color Burst powder and spray of water. I smooshed the watercolor paper on the watercolor paint and then added layer once the first one dried.</p>
<p>Then using Mini MISTI, I stamped the flowers with Versamark ink pad to create the border. Then I heat embossed them with Super Fine White embossing powder. I added some glitter on them using Wink Of Stella clear glitter brush pen.</p>
<p>I tore the bottom edge and finished my card with some natural twine from MayArts ribbon and some sparkle clear gems.</p>
<p>My card today is inspired by this beautiful colors on this picture from <a href="http://joyclair.typepad.com/blog/2017/03/march-challenge-spring-has-sprung.html"><strong>Joy Clair March Challenge &#8211; Spring Has Sprung</strong></a>:</p>
