Watercolor embossing - Roses for Mother



I made this card for 2 challenges.

Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge to watercolor.  I used my roses embossing folder on watercolor paper, then watercolored using aqua painter and watercolor wonder crayons.

The layout is from Stamping 411.

The sentiment is punched out with a circle punch, then layered on the decorative label punch.
I added some rhinestones and ribbon on the corners.
