Adding Finishing Touches + SIP#142

Today I have an inspiration share courtesy of Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge #142. I'm really happy how this turned out. Let's check it out:
Watercolor Card Finishing Touches

To meet this color challenge I used smoky slate for my card base, a black matte, a tranquil tide matte,  a little bit of lemon lime twist ribbon, and my main image is from the Stampin' Up Petal Passion Memories and More card pack. I just love the painted flower. It looks like a piece of hand painted art, maybe I should have signed the front of it lol.

Here's your crafty tip: Finishing touches can make a world of difference. I used a water brush to add black paint splatters to my base card, then I took a silver metallic gel pen to doodle around the outside of the flower. I felt it could still use a little more so I added the dots with a Pitt fine art pen. Take a look below at a before and after:

I really liked the original image but I am so happy with the alterations I made.

Happy crafting!
