I started by stamping the Winter Anemone and leaves from the Spring Blossom set with my favorite no-line coloring ink.

I watercolored the images with Distress Oxide inks.

When the watercolored image was dry, I covered the whole thing with Glossy Accents.

After the Glossy Accents was dry, I used a blending brush to add color to the background. I used a barely damp paper towel to remove the excess ink from the glossy flower.

What a clever way to mask. It turned out so pretty. I love that no line stamping and water coloring.
