Selective Stamping

I can't seem to get enough of the watercolouring, and I knew that there was an image on one of my JustRite stamp sets that I just had to play with.

To say I was thrilled with the outcome would be an understatement! It turned out better than I thought it would, and I didn't have any disasters involving water! YAY!
I used my TH Distress markers (for the first time ever), to just colour the areas of the stamp I wanted, which is why you may not recognize it right away. I then used the markers and a water brush to paint the flowers and the background. I liked the softness of the colours so much, that I stuck with soft pastel colours for all the Spellbinder diecut layers. The patterned paper I used is from the Prime"Delight" collection. I kept this card relatively flat for mailing and only popped up one layer!
Here's the stamp set I used. I think it's fun to find new ways to get more use from your stamps.

The original stamp is beautiful, but by selecting the areas I wanted stamped, I could change the shape of image to an oval, or even a square.
Here are the Spellbinders dies I used in descending order:  A2 Filigree Delight ( the oval)
                                                                                          Divine Eloquence
                                                                                          Labels Twenty-Eight
                                                                                          Divine Eloquence

I'm entering this card in Justrite's Friday Challenge : Colour It Pretty and
 Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge : Botanicals
UPDATE : WooHoo!! My card was picked as one of the winners at JustRite. I get to pick a set of 24 Spectrum Noir coloured pencils. Thanks JR!!
