Oh my BADness! I have been so buried this week under paper, glitter and ink that I haven’t had time just to stamp. I’ve been getting ready for my part of the Spellbinders CHA Blog Frenzy that . . . well it’s like this . . . . I got last part of my projects done today, still have some more to do, but I just had to take a minute and clear my head.
I did something today that I haven’t done for a very long time. I pulled out my absolute favorite floral image of all time! For some of you, I don’t even have to show you the card and you’ll know the stamp. For some others, it’s been so long since I’ve put ink to this image that you’ve probably never seen anything I’ve done with it.
Are you ready? My Penny Black Blush stamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you haven’t been able to tell over the last bit, I love stamping on wet watercolor paper and today is no different. I misted the watercolor paper and let it sit for a few minutes to soak up the water. When the paper was just damp, I stamped Rubbernecker French Script in Old Paper Distress Ink. I let the ink sit for awhile, and then when I had the look I wanted, I finished drying with my heat tool. The flower was inked using Tombow Markers, misted with water and then stamped over the French Script. I felt the look of one single flower was lonesome, so I added 2 more . . . just for the fun of it! The image was then cut and embossed with Spellbinders S5-014 Small Deckled Mega Rectangles.
I chose BasicGrey Wisteria for the background papers and matched them up with Prism Iced Cobalt and Spring Willow Medium. The edges of everything, including the scalloped border, were sponged with Old Paper Distress Ink.
