Good morning!! I have a fun Daffodil card for you this morning, and it's full of techniques!! First, I embossed the daffodil image in White on Watercolor Paper. I masked it off using a post it note. Then, using Balming Blue ink and a blending brush, I added a layer of ink. Then, without removing the daffodil mask, I used a stencil over the top to add the decorative background!! Don't you just love the look of layering the ink?
I colored the daffodils using reinkers and my aqua painters. Now for my favorite part: Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut out the "background" of the thanks right out of the watercolor paper! I popped that up on mini dimensionals, then added the Thanks in Basic Black cardstock. (the actual word die). I love it!! I hope you do, too!
Oh–I almost forgot–for a little sparkle, there is Wink of Stella on the Basic Black cardstock!
I've entered this in two challenges: Just Add Ink: Add Masking, and the As You See It Challenge Theme: Spring Flowers!

It does look fantastic, with the stencil background so snug behind the flower. Masking is such a great technique and you’ve used it well. Thanks so much for joining in our Spring Flowers theme at As You See It.
