MariLynn has such a wonderful gallery and her mixed media and watercolor skills are amazing! I don't even come close to her talent, but I love making smooshed watercolor backgrounds. I used one of those to cut the snowdrops out of, cutting them again from white and placing them in the negative space. The sentiment was stamped in salty ocean, on a torn edge rectangle and placed beside the stems. Here's her beautiful card that inspired me.

Oh, I almost cased the same card Sue - I have that die but also just got a lovely snow drop stamp - but then switched to the geraniums. This is so pretty with the inlaid die cut and pretty smooshed background!

I'm so glad you explained your technique for die cutting your snowdrops and then reinserting them into your gorgeous smooshed panel. Beautiful!

Beautiful CASE and you recreated her look but in a different and very lovely way. Your smooshed bg is gorgeous and I love that you inlaid the white snowdrop flowers. What a soft and serene scene you have created. Wonderful card.
