Water Coloring

I love the look of water coloring on a card, the shading is so beautiful. So that's what I tried to do in this next card. I guess practice will make it perfect.
I first stamped the flower in stazOn black and then created a mask for the flower before I stamped the leaves. I think it makes it look prettier. Then I used my aqua painters and SU ink pads to water color the flower and leaves.

Recipe:

Stamps: Embrace Life
Ink: SU Pale Plum & Perfectly Plum, black stazOn
Paper: SU Pale Plum, Perfectly Plum, Very Vanilla, water color paper, DP is unknown
Other: Nestabilities, purple rhinestone brads (I think Making Memories) and SU Eggplant ribbon
