Heartfelt Creations April Alumni Hop

It's the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Hop for April today.  I know I have said it before, but I love these hops.  So much eye candy to see and of course, there is the fun part of making a card!

Really, when using these products, I don't think you can make a bad card! I used water coloring on this card.  To get my vivid background, I used the direct to paper technique with distress inks on a panel of water colored paper, and then I spritzed the paper. For the flowers and leaves, I inked my worksheet, spritzed with water, and then laid the flowers and leaves into the ink.  I do rather like the end result~ :)

I used the following HFC products:
