After viewing Jennifer McGuire's Distress Oxide Water Painting Technique video, I would like to try this technique. Below is the card I made with Concord & 9th stamps:
I white embossed the flowers on the white cardstock. Then I applied Distress Oxide inks on the cardstock heavily to create the resist effect. I used the water brush to brush off the colors from the flowers. Then brushed again with the clear Wink of Stella pen to make flowers shiny. Finish the card by die cut "thanks" (from Mama Elephant) four times and glued them together and put in the center of the card. I also attached some white Nuvo crystal drops as accents. Below is another look of the card:

And here is Simon Monday Challenge - Easter/Spring Inspiration, below is the challenge photo:
Below is the card I made to attend the above two challenges:
I brushed Ranger's alcohol inks on a piece of acetate, let it dry. Then I stamped flowers from Paper Smooches' Blooming Buds set with green Archival ink pad on the acetate. I wiped a dry cloth on the acetate, then the stamped flowers will change the colors from green to white. I learned this technique from Jennifer McGuire's "alcohol ink ghost stamping" technique. I cut out the acetate into a wide and a narrow stripe and attached them on the card. I stamped two butterflies - from Paper Smooches' Pretty Mamma set on the white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers, then brushed the clear Wink of Stella pen on top of the colors. I cut out two butterflies and attached them with foam tapes on the card. Finish the card by stamping "You are all kinds of wonderful" (from Paper Smooches' Fun & Flirty set) at the bottom of the card and dropped some Nuvo crystal drops. Below is another look of the card:
