I created a fun faux-watercolour background with the Color Me Flower cling stamp from Hero Arts and some Zig Art & Graphic Twin Tip markers. These water-based markers are great for colouring stamps and faux-watercolour techniques. The colours stay vibrant, as you can see.
My sentiment is an EBE die cut embossed with Wow embossing powder and stacked up.
Here's a video showing how I created this card:
