I stamped the images in Sahara Sand ink (very light) and then used my fine waterbrush and distress inks to watercolour over top. I used Spiced Marmalade, Broken China, Mustard Seed, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint for my garden. I filled in the bottom a little with green to make it appear as grass and then stamped some ground flowers.
I used my wonky stitched rectangle (NBUS) to die-cut the panel and then popped it up on my card front with foam.

This is a darling little watercolored garden, Lolly! Wouldn't that be sweet done on canvas and framed? I love it! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteI have some images like these and I've never thought to use them this way. I've only used as silhouettes. Now I've gotta try it this way! Love how your card came out Loll and I really love your wonky stitched rectangle. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet early Spring flower garden, Loll. I love how you planted your flowers on a little raised mound with a ground cover of grass and pretty blue flowers. So creative and a wonderful reminder that Spring is here:-) TFS my friend. Hugs...

ReplyDeleteI love the combination of flowers and soft water coloring. You always inspire me with your ideas and new techniques.
ReplyDeleteSo delicate and pretty and great use of the individual stamps. I used individual stamps on my last card and I had so much fun. It's not a thing I do often but will do more in the future....it stretches the stamps further and I love the unique effect on your very beautiful card Loll x
ReplyDeleteGosh it could be embroidered, it's so beautiful.
