I like the way you did the leaves with colored paper, so that you only need to do the watercolor technique on the flower. If you want to introduce another product, instead of the suggested microbeads, you could do just Crystal Effects in the center of the flower, or painted on the petals of the flower. Really nice design.

This is a GREAT workshop project (I plan to use this, but the way). I think adding Crystal Effects or Dazzling Diamonds in the center of the flower would be a perfect touch! I've also been having fun with the paper eyelets made with the 1/2" punch and the hand-held punch. You could add one of those to the Thank-you tag. They are a really nice finishing touch...people love them!

I really like this card! I'm searching for workshop ideas myself at the moment, and may just have to "borrow" this! I love the simplicity of it... great for a workshop!

Simple is great for a workshop card. I love the colors on this, and I agree that a little glitter or microbeads in the flower center would make folks swoon over this already super card!

Great suggestions! Thanks everyone. I added crystal effects on the center of the flower, eyelet on the tag and...with the square background of this set, I put diamonds across the eggplant paper (using eggplant envy ink), sort of like a faux Harlequin look. Turned out really nice.
