A few tips on what I did for this card:

• The background is stamped with the watercolor stamp from the set.  Once the stamp was inked, stamp it off once before stamping on your art piece.
• The flower is stamped using Basic Black ink and the stem is colored with the Gumball marker.  -Make sure the Basic Black ink is dry before coloring so you don’t smudge the ink
• Color the flower with the Calypso Coral marker, stamp on a piece of Whisper White and fussy cut.  Layer on the bottom flower with dimensionals.  This will provide additional dimension.
