hi there,
After being away sick for 2 weeks, it is so nice to be able to come back and play in a challenge. I needed some happy to stamp so grabbed my flowers after I saw this candle box: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111656402729/
This is a 2-part stamp, so I stamped the stems and the centers with black Memento ink first. For the second part which is the flower petals, I coloured my stamp with Memento markers, sprayed with water then stamped onto my slightly wet watercolour paper.
Thanks for looking,

Wow Karen! I love how you picked up the color on the edges of the label and then totally made the prettiest flowers and card. This sentiment is a total winner too. Love it! Hugz

This is gorgeous! Beautiful colors, and I love that you stamped the image twice - I can't believe how much difference it made. Wonderful idea!

I'm so glad you're feeling better Karen. There is just something missing when we can't stamp. I LOVE your card. The poppies are so pretty and I like your loose watercoloring. This should make you feel even better. :>)

I'm so glad you're feeling better - I've missed seeing your lovely cards. This one is going straight into my favourites - it is so beautiful with the soft watercolour look. Thanks for explaining how you did it.

Yipee!!....you're back. And as glorious as ever, Karen. Love your watercolored looking flowers in those vibrant and luscious tones. The frame framing adds a "zing". BEAUTIFUL!
