Penny Black - Delicate Beauty


Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a CAS design using 30-559 delicate beauty, along with a background die, 51-499 diamond cut.

I started by stamping the flower image in permanent gray ink onto mixed media paper.  I wanted to try a softer look than stamping in black.

I watercoloured the image using Abandoned Coral and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.  The die was cut from white card stock.  I thought it looked like lattice, so wove the stem of the flower through the spaces.

To finish, a white heat embossed sentiment on black banner was added to the bottom.

Here's a close-up ...

    Your watercoloring is outstanding on this gorgeous bloom! The shading is impeccable. Love it against that lattice die cut. This is so beautifully designed.

    Love the soft look of using the gray to stamp the flower and what a perfect way to frame it using the lattice background. Beautiful card Loll :)

    Your watercolored flower is so lovely, Loll! I like the gray outlines softening the image. The white-on-white diamond die-cut panel highlights the pretty coral flower. Tucking the stem in the lattice is a great idea.
