CAS Watercolour June Summer Reminder

It's the middle of June so time for my CAS Watercolour reminder card.  June's challenge is Summer, and my neighborhood is full of flowers,  So for this card I thought I would go with a flower theme,  and use this sweet image from  Old island stamp company,  I coloured her using zig pens and a watercolouring brush, once coloured I used 3M masking tape tape and then stenciled the background.

What a pretty vintage image and a superb job of watercolor, Christine! I love the soft stenciling in the background and the way you've framed it! It brings back memories of collecting flowers when I was a child!
