Hey!! Have a card to share for a few challenges: Color Throwdown, Freshly Made Sketches and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. Over a month ago I bought the Altenew Bamboo Roses stamp set and it has been sitting out waiting for me to use it. I finally got the chance to ink it up to create my card. I stamped the flowers in VersaFine Vintage Sepia on a panel of Ranger watercolor cardstock. I initially tried to color them with my ZIGs, but that turned into a disaster so I switched over to my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paints and got a little bit better results. After the panel was finished I trimmed it down per the sketch. The panel was backed by some dark brown textured cardstock and a thin strip of green was added. I stamped the sentiment (from A Jillian Vance Design) on vellum and heat set with white embossing powder. I stamped one more flower, colored it and then trimmed it out when it was dry. That was adhered along with the sentiment to the card. 
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white, brown textured, green; Stamps: Altenew and A Jillian Vance Design; Inks: VersaFine, VersaMark; Watercolor Medium: Kuretake Gansai Tambi; Embossing powder: Hero Arts
