Christmas in July Amaryllis

I think I bought this stamp and die set 1, maybe 2 years ago. I thought I had pre-stamped a bunch for watercoloring, but maybe that was only a good intention as I didn't find any?

I didn't use the die on these cards.
I stamped on the textured side of Distress Watercolor Cardstock using Gina K amalgam ink. I bought a small cube of the ink at Stampfest and I'm happy with it. I colored Neocolor II watersoluble crayons direct to the paper and spread with a wet brush. I used a little bit pinker red on the right one and tried to leave a bit more white space (hard for me!).
On the left I used Enamel Accents for the pistils and on the right sparkle pop pen. I was disappointed in the enamel accents, I thought they would show up better. I felt like it was a bit watery, I applied with a ball stylus. Maybe it's bad? It does look like it needs mixing but there is no mixing ball inside so other than shaking like crazy, I don't know ...

I watched a Nichole Spohr video where she splattered with white goache, so that's what I used.

I trimmed the watercolor paper to 5 by 3 3/4 and adhered to a card base with foam tape. The sentiment is also mounted using foam tape.

TFL!

Thanks so much for the challenge Daria! Finally ... a few Christmas cards.
