Needed to make another birthday card, so I wanted to try my new Anna Griffin stamps (I admired cards made by Sharon (notimetostamp) so I had to buy these when they were on sale)
I started by stamping the image in classic ink on shimmery white, then watercolored with ink pads and aquapainter to move the colors around. Then I overstamped the image with craft ink and enbossed. The blush turned out so much more crisp with the craft ink.
I used caramel ink on the blush layer to have the BG show up a bit more, color spritzer tool to put some turquoise hints on the flower image.
The base has blush craft on the turquoise paper using the retired "filigree" background.
Thanks for looking!
