Y'all they are soooo good! For this On The Block Mom card, I started by stamping the lollipop card base with the In Bloom background stamp in Cherry Pop ink, using a MISTI tool.

Then colored in using watercolors.  I used 4 colors, 2 different purples, a green and a yellow.  Once the panel was dry, it was adhered to a card base (4.25x5.5 in) using foam adhesive.  Then a white panel was die cut using a rectangle die.  The sentiment and petals were ...
