I actually made a card using dies! The most fun of KSS stamps is coming up with a recipe using inks you have on hand. To stamp this one, I started with Antique Linen distress, then Adirondack Sandal, Memento Morrocco, Memento Cranberry and finally Memento Rich Cocoa. At this point I restamped steps 4 and 5 for intensity. I'm always amazed at how the colors interact when using odd colors to darken the image. I did spritz water each time before stamping for richer color. The leaves were done with Bamboo Memento, Northern Pine Memento and finally Imperial purple Versafine. Thanks for looking.

Simply STUNNING!!! My first thought was that it looks like light reflection that I see in your petals and leaves..which is a brilliant achievement with a stamp and all those amazing colors! The white die cuts from the fabulous SB Marvelous Squares is a genius pick to frame this beautiful and inspiring piece of artwork. You need to pat your self on the back for this one my friend...it is absolutely gorgeous!
