My fave thing in card making is getting inky. This week I received this stamp as a prize from Beautiful Blossoms and couldn't wait to use it. Thanks again Donna & team, see their work and join the challenge here: beautifulblossomschallenge .
I ink blended the background panel with JuiseyArt hybrid inks, then misted it with water to get a lovely mottled effect. The stamp is an AALL&Create collage stamp called Hiya-drangea. I used a water-lift technique to lighten the leaves so they stood out from the background, and highlighted the flowers with WoS gold for subtle sparkle. The border punch is a really old one from Martha Stewart (among one of my first punches I think) just to 'ground' the picture, finished with a presentation bow at the neck of the flower. The inks are five colours including 2 purples, 2 blues, and seagreen on the left bottom which hasn't photographed well.
I didn't fuss with it too much it is beautiful just as it is. I reckon it will be quite versatile as I can stamp just the sentiment, and maybe fussy cut the flower. The flower looks a bit like a topiary tree.
