Pinkfresh Studio October Challenge - Circle Elements

Here is Pinkfresh Studio October Challenge - Circle Elements, below is the challenge photo:



And here is the card I made to attend this challenge:


I used Pinkfresh Studio's Modern Blooms die to cut out from the watercolor paper. Then I cut two more die cuts on white cardstock. I colored the watercolor die with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens to watercolor the background die. I glued this colored die cut with the other two cardstock die cuts together. I used a circle die to cut out from the center and used this cut out to do a matching envelope. I white embossed the greetings (from Pinkfresh Studio's you make a difference stamp set) in the center of the black cardstock. I also used the white gel pen to draw the white dots around the circle. Below is another look of the card:
