Blue flowers for a happy birthday

Back to my comfort zone today - blue, watercolour, and flowers!
 I used the Wplus9 Kind Soul stamp set, along with Zig clean colour real brush markers, which I scribbled onto my craft sheet and sprayed with water, before dunking my stamped image into the puddles of colour multiple times. I dried it off, then added some detail using Copic markers in blues and blue-greens. I added a stamped sentiment (from a different Wplus9 set) and then decided it needed a strip of blue along the top. I then finished with some Wink of Stella and a row of faux stitching.
 I'll be sharing this card at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - their theme this week is "Anything Goes".

    The COPICS made all the difference in providing that details verses mushy contrast. I've just completed a set of cards that didn't seem quite finished. They needed something else and your idea for the narrow strip of color on the top is brilliant. Beautiful card!
