Sometimes the simple techniques are the best. I came across this "new to me" technique on Splitcoast a few months ago and had to give it a try. I stamped the image from Embrace Life with Stazon onto watercolor paper and colored the image with regal rose, so saffron and old olive markers. I misted a sponge dauber with water and pounced it once or twice on each flower bud so that the ink bled slightly. To finish the card, I used the Color Spritzer Tool and a regal rose marker.
Here's a close up of the image:
