I loved the sketch AND the inspiration photo for the current Fusion Card Challenge! It was perfect to use some distress inks then spritz with water before stamping on watercolor paper. I first stamped the floral spray with Spun Sugar then offset the second stamping with Picked Raspberry. I then stamped only half of the image with Squeezed Lemonade then offset with a second stamping with Mustard Seed. The leaves were inked, spritzed and stamped with Mowed Lawn. I put some ink on an acrylic block then picked up some color with my aquapainter to fill in the open leaves. I loved pairing up the Wet Paint text style set - also by Papertrey Ink - with this Garden Grace set! The pink panel is Raspberry Fizz CS by PTI.
