Flowers & a Heart

Long time no hear, but I'm back for a bit -- lots happening around here...  Also, I apologize for the "carpet shots" but since it's dark out, it's the best I could get!  Here is a card that I was aiming for Valentine's Day, but too girly for my Hubbs, so it'll go un-stamped into my stash until I find a use for it.  I started by watercolor "smooshing" a piece of regular cardstock, then cutting into it for the heart, layered up 3 times and inlaid into white cardstock.

I then cut the flowers, watercolored them with ZIGS, layered them up, and attached them above the heart.  The whole panel was then placed on colored card.

I really like the watercolor on the heart, a pretty good success...  

Anyway, then I added Crystal Stickles (a green tint to accent the leaves) to the flower centers and in a few dots around the heart.  I'm pretty happy with this card, one of my better successes, IMHO!  As a bonus, I used my new, but still NBUS die (new but unused, I hope that counts) and got to play with watercolors.
