The Blended Seasons stamp set was used for Sketch #24 and Color Challenge #24. This stamp set is available August 1-31, 2018 while supplies last. Also available in August is another set of 10 Watercolor Pencils some of which were used to watercolor the stamped Flowers and Leaves.
You can simplify this card by leaving out the embossing steps and Stamping an image that does not need coloring.
