It's Jenny here, and I am using Paper Rose's gorgeous Beautiful Day stamp. This is a large image with large open areas and just perfect for watercoloring, so that's just what I did!
I stamped the image in embossing ink onto cold press watercolor cardstock. I then heat embossed it in gold embossing powder (which makes it easier to watecolor, as the embossing powder creates little wells for the paint).
I used Daniel Smith watercolors to paint it, with Greengold and Quinacridone Rose for all of the leaves (I thought these looked a lot like succulents), and a hint of Azo Yello and Sepia on the small florals. I finished with an incredibly light wash of Cobalt Blue around the edge for sky. Just for a little more contrast I used a brown pencil to add in some shading.
I trimmed out the image and backed it onto a white notecard with craft foam. The Many Thanks sentiment was heat embossed in gold on black cardstock and popped up on foam tape. A few sparkling clear sequins finished my card.
I think next time I'll be using this image as flowers instead of succulents. Super versatile!
Have a wonderful day all!
Jenny
