For my card I began with some beautiful Canson Cold Press Watercolor Paper and stamped my stunner of a bouquet from the Power Poppy "Daffodils" stamp set multiple times down the edge of my paper.

I proceeded to color up my image using a variety of fun ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers to add pigment to my image.  I used a very detailed water brush to move the color around.  I added more marker where I wanted more concentrated color.

The simple but elegant sentiment comes from the darling "Dream Wedding" stamp set.

ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers make coloring QUICK and EASY.  They're a dream to use!
