I just love these large stamps - and have sat looking at this one for a while before being brave enough to tackle it with the help of Misti.
This image is stamped with Archival Jet Black Ink and coloured with water colour pencils. I think it would look good stamped in Archival Sepia on a cream card - but where did I put my Sepia Ink - that could take a few days to uncover and I wanted to try out the stamp NOW.
I trimmed down the image after colouring - now that was so hard to do - but other wise it would have made a monster card. Hope I got the image around the right way - looks good any way you trim it I guess. I looked at lots of images on Pinterest to see what other people had done. I added the sentiment from the set and then framed it with a thin border of antique shades of Christmas colours.
Hope you enjoy.

What a stunning card, Helen! It looks like you had a blast bringing these wintery plants to life. I had to keep scrolling up to catch all the details. Just lovely.
