Here is my card for today, I also have a tutorial to share... so keep scrolling down to see how I used my Spectrum Aqua Markers on this card.
Step 1: Using the Olive Spectrum Aqua Marker, add color directly from the marker to the Handmade Botanicals image.
Step 2: Using the Moss Spectrum Aqua Markers, add ink from the marker to the edges of each leaf and to the center stem of the image.
Step 3: Using a spray bottle of water, lightly mist some water on the colored stamp.
Step 4: Stamp the image on Spectrum Noir Watercolor paper.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 two more times.
Step 6: Using a water brush, lightly blend the colors on each leaf.
Step 7: Using large sticky notes, mask the areas on each side of the stamped images. Then using the Frame & Filler background stamp, ink in a light color and randomly stamp the image for some texture. Note: It is important to do this step last after the image is dry so the ink doesn't smear from the water.
Here's a close up of the leaf images with the background.

So pretty with the added texture look
The additional linen texture really made this card. The watercoloring is awesome, the stamp is beautiful, but the background texture was just the thing! I also love how the hemp cord and button add to the natural look of the card. Would be great for a guy, but is totally ok for a woman too. Just perfect!
These ferns and branches are really pretty. The beauty of nature.
Your card is lovely. I think about using my markers instead of inks
But I usually don't. Maybe now next time I will.
Your card is so very nice. I have liked ""simple elegance" for many years, and this certainly qualifies. I really do need to find a way to afford those Spectrum Aqua markers!
You card and tutorial are wonderful. Thank You

Beautiful. The subtle background adds just the right amount zip.
Beautiful--I like how you colored the leaves.
Clean and simple but so pretty.
