Summer Blooms

Hi everyone.  I just bought this gorgeous new stamp set from Simon Says Stamp called "Bouquet of Thanks".  I had to have it after watching this amazing video by Amanda (Little Crafty Pill).

I first heat embossed the flowers and sentiment with gold embossing powder.  Then I watercoloured using my zigs and added a few sequins for some sparkle.  I'm sending this to a friend's daughter who is dealing with serious medical issues right now.  I hope it will cheer her up a little.

I'm adding this as my second entry at The Flower Challenge #10 - Embossing Heat/Dry.  I heat embossed the flower image and sentiment. :)



Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

    Wowzers! No wonder you had to have that stamp and think I may just add that to my wish list which is now the approximate cost of a mortgage. What a beauty that is. Your coloring and blending make me want to pull those Zigs right now. This is gorgeous, Loll.

    It will most definitely bring cheer to your friend's daughter. And I hope you don't mind, but this reminds me of the blog header you created for me. It's a beautiful card. And I still smile when I look at my header! The sequins add just a little bit of a wow factor, too. Very pretty. Bev
