Here is my card and project for you..

I decided to sponge instead of watercolor the emboss resist.  I used a sponge and Stampin' Up! Melon Mambo to apply the color.  I decided it was a little too bold in places so I used my Aqua Painter to add some water and mellow out some of the ink blending.  I then cut out that portion and used it on the bottom left of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Watercolor Paper.  I stamped my sentiment in the upper right and stamped the splatter stamp three times above the Melon Mambo resist.  I added some of the Washi Tape in the very upper left corner.  Last but never least I added three of the flowers, each with two of the leaf stickers.  Glue Dots were used to adhere the flowers.  I topped the flowers with a Rhinestone Jewel and then added three other random Rhinestones.

These coordinating envelopes are just perfect to use for Mini Treat Bags.  So I shared about a month ago how to make these little treat bags out of a regular A2 envelope.   If you missed this post you can read it here!  Basically, it's simple to do and if you have a small treat and need a little bag, this works just perfectly.  I stamped my sentiment on the envelope and used my oval dies to cut out the oval hole prior to cutting, scoring and shaping into a treat bag.
