Happy Tuesday!
Welcome to the My Sweet Petunia & Right at Home stamps collaboration bloghop.
My first card I used a piece of watercolor paper and the Mini MISTI to stamp a bunch of floral images because I really didn't know what I wanted to do. We were heading out for our anniversary trip and I had to get a card made before I left because we would not return until after the hop.
I used the Anemone set and stamped the floral images using Versafine ink, because I knew I wanted to watercolor them. Anytime I stamp on watercolor paper I always use my MISTI to make sure I get a crisp image because of the texture. After stamping several images I colored them using Zig clean color pens and then cut them out using the coordinating die. For the background I used Distress Oxide inks in Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade.
Since I had so many floral images I decided to make a second card in the same color scheme. I brought the supplies with me in case I had some free time on our trip which I did, while the hubs was watching football I made this second card. I used Distress Oxide inks for the background on this one as well, I just splattered it on and made a couple brush strokes in the center.
So pretty Ceal...love those backgrounds!
