I used Stampin' Up!'s Petal Palette stamp set and Petals & More Thinlits dies to create this card. The flowers, leaves and bird were water-colored using their Aqua Painters and their Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Pear Pizazz, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry inks on water-color paper. I attached all the pieces onto Whisper White cardstock, added a few enamel  accents, and then matted it onto a piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock and the card base. This is an A2 size card.
