Springtime is still far away, but when Christmas time is over, the daylight time becomes longer every single day - and almost 3 weeks after the shortest days you can see the difference! Yay!
I miss the flowers outside (it's still too early for snowdrops and crocus), but on my cards I can give some life and love to beautiful florals!
My plants for today are the Uniko - Natures Treasures II Stencil (2018/05), combined with Pure Florals - Rose Stamps (2017/12).
I used a special technique - not sure if it has a official name yet. It's a kind of reverse resist and wash-off combination.
I'll describe it for you below.
In combination with the roses in the front the card offers so much optical depth!
I'm not sure right now for which occasion I will use the card. So I decided to leave it without any message on the outside in the moment and when I'll send it to someone I can add any kind of sentiment on the inside just in no time.

About this card:
The technique combo I mentioned at the beginning of the post is an irreproducible one. You'll always get a bit different results.
First you cover a piece of absorbent paper with watercolors and blend them together. You can use watercolour paper or others, but the aqua-colours need to soak in!
After everything is totally dried use your antistatic powder tool and then add your Emossing Ink / Versamark Ink through your stencil onto the paper and cover it with clear embossing powder. Melt it and let it cool down. Then take the paper to the sink and wash the water colour outside of the embossed areas off! Be careful and don't rub the paper (this will demage it!).
The watercolours beneath the embossing powder will resist this wash-off activity. (that's why I called it reverse resist and wash-off combination.)
The flowers are stamped on smooth cardstock, colored with Copic Markers and Stabilo Markers and fussy cut them out. Some of the pieces got clear Wink of Stella Glimmer.
I cut my background paper, arranged everything and adhered all pieces.
To finish the card I added some glosssy Nuvo Crystal Drops.
