This card is for today's Featured Stamper Challenge. Congrats Virginia on being chosen this week's Featured Stamper! I love your amazing use of color but felt that might be too far outside my comfort zone. I loved this card right on the first page of your gallery!
I think your sketch is very clever and I loved the colors you used. I used a different flower, papers and greeting.. I have owned this Blended Bloom stamp since it was released, but had not put ink to it until today. I bought it because I wanted to use it with my alcohol ink pens, but today I used a watercolor technique. I stamped and embossed it on Shimmer White CS and then used ink refills and water to paint the bloom. I did three layers and cut out different parts of the petals and the center to create some dimension.. I will spend some more time looking through this wonderful gallery and I may have to do another card. Enjoy your week Virginia!
