This card features the Rose Wonder stamp set from Stampin' Up!, colored with Brusho Crystal Colour.   I bought the Brusho Crystals several months ago from Stampin' Up! but just got around to using them and love the results.  I heat embossed the flower design, added water & sprinkled the crystals. I used Aqua Painters to spread the colors across the card front.  This is an A7 size card.

Directions:
--Cut all pieces per list.
--Dust the Watercolor Paper top mat with Embossing Buddy powder and stamp the flower From Rose Wonder with Versamark ink.

--Apply Gold embossing powder, shake off excess & heat with Heat Tool to melt powder.
--Apply water to the card.
--Sprinkle the Prussian Blue crystals on the flower petals, and the Moss Green crystals on the leaves.
--Use Aqua Painter to spread the water onto the flower and leaves and then also onto the rest of the card.  You can add more color or water if needed until you get the desired effect.
--When done you need to let the card dry completely ( can use heat tool if you want to speed up the drying time).
--When dry attach Top Mat to Dapper Denim Bottom Mat & then both to the Card Base using tape runner.
