Hello!
Secret Garden was one of those sets in the Spring catalog that knocked my socks off! I really love everything in that stamp set and the fact that Stampin’ Up! made it so versatile with the coordinating framelits just made it even easier to love. Now, the Pals Paper Arts challenge is using three colors that are just meant to be together – Baked Brown Sugar, Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla. I stamped the flowers with VersaMark, then embossed with white embossing powder. The watercolored flowers really turned out pretty!
Tip of the Day: When watercoloring, add color just a little at a time to get the right look.

Just signed up to follow your blog and excited to do so! I love your creative use of SU products.
Perfect stamp set to use with these colors, Debbie! Love all the details… they add depth but do not overpower your card. Very lovely!
Beautiful card. Love the color combo.

Love the card … new to SU will have to try watercoloring thanks for the tip
Wow…your flowers are gorgeous. I haven’t tried water coloring yet. I love the label piece under the sentiment. It looks so shiny in the pic. The fancy fan folder is so elegant. Great choice for your card. Thanks for sharing.
Bright and beautiful! Thanks for playing along with the Pals Paper Arts this week, Debbie!
