Welcome to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
I have a lot of friends' birthdays coning up in March and April... perfect for using these sketch challenges!
For the focus of my card, I chose to use a stamp that kind of frustrated me a little... it is actually a watercolour approach and so it it not designed to fit exactly in the outline, which rather annoys me. I spent some time with a photo editing program erasing some of the sections outside the lines and finally stopped - asking myself WHY I was doing that when it is supposed to have that kind of appearance....
Nonetheless, I finished it off with a die cut border and a ribbon with a few sparkles. So simple. I also brushed several of the individual buds with the Gold Shimmer Brush - that can be seen in the second photo below. It really stands out when the card is held on an angle.

Loving your purple card and this is why I have problems with watercoloring, but like you say that's what watercoloring is, and we just have to be more comfortable with this technique. Very pretty card.
