There's a beautiful new color palette for the new Color Throwdown Challenge...thanks to Barbara Anders who is our hostess this week! She chose aqua/blue, coral/peach, green and kraft. I knew I wanted to try to ink up some of these new stamps from the Fleur Impressions stamp set by the newly formed company - The Greetery - created by the talented Betsy Veldman. There are generally 3 or 4 steps in the stamping of each flower, so it gives the illusion of a water colored image. I loved the way it was so easy to match up the layers! And isn't the brush lettering look of the sentiment so fabulous? This sentiment set is called Comforting Commands. I never mastered hand lettering by hand, so have to resort to a stamp to git 'er done - lol! I die cut the scalloped base using MFT's Blueprint 27 die on Ranger watercolor CS. I then painted a light wash of Tumbled Glass distress ink, dried it, then splattered some of the same color ink that was less diluted with water. I arranged the flowers - popping the two largest ones with foam tape. The sentiment was also popped with foam tape.

This is WONDERFUL!!! I am a big fan of Betsy Veldman, so I will be checking out her new stamp company. I especially like your layout. Beautiful watercolor background! I am on my phone and I cannot find a way to favorite this but I will when I get home, sorry. This is a stunning work of art. I really want to look at that sentiment stamp set!
