Today I'm sharing two cards that I've made with the beautiful cling stamp exhilaration (#40-745). I will link to all products used on today's cards at the bottom of the post.
Close-up ...
For my next card I used the same stamp (exhilaration 40-745), but this time I used brushos direct to stamp (using a damp brush), spritzed with water and stamped onto a mixed media panel. The card below is my second pressing of the inked stamp (without adding more inks, but adding just a light spritz of water). The first press is beautiful, much darker with more saturated colours and I will share at another time. I love the softness of the second press from this image ...

Such a beautiful stamp Loll and you have done it justice with these 2 gorgeous cards. x
These are both so gorgeous, Loll. Boy are you bad for my budget! I need all those things you used (grin). I love the font of the thank you stamp and just love the muted blends of the brusho stamping. What great colors you achieved doing that. Still working on my transporation to come for my lessons!
What a pretty stamp and both cards are wonderful Loll x. The frame on your first card looks fabulous and so is your pretty water colouring. Great splats and I love how the sentiment is the same colour as the pretty flower buds x. Such a delicate and pretty second card with a great effect with the Brusho's and the fun technique x.
Both are beautifully done! I especially love the brushos direct to stamp one - such a soft look (I guess because it's the second generation stamping - looking forward to seeing the difference when you post the first. The first one looks great with that die cut rectangle adding lots of extra interest.
Two really gorgeous cards Loll, fresh and pretty -perfect for spring....love your splattering and I must remember to be brave add some to my cards.. wonderful inspiration for PB, hugs Robyn
Really gorgeous cards, Loll! Your no-line watercoloring is so pretty and I love the frame on your first card! I also love how you used the brushos direct to stamp technique on your 2nd card, too...they add so much texture to the flowers and leaves! I am definitely going to try it for myself...You've done an amazing job showcasing the new PB goodies! xx
Both of these are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Loll!! I love the vivid colors of the red and green on the 1st card and I adore that frame...I think it might need to come live at my house!! And your 2nd card is just as lovely with the Brusho's and the 2nd stamping with the lighter pinks. Definitely a beautiful and fun stamp to work with! :0)
Both cards are so pretty, Loll! The very fine spatters are just perfect for the first card, and I LOVE the second generation of the Brusho colors - bright and yet soft. The clear sequins and the light gray sentiment are placed in the perfect spots!

2 really beautiful cards Loll. You never fail to impress with your cards xx
You've featured this stamp and each watercoloring technique beautifully, Loll. Your splattering in the first is always so impressive. I must admit, my favourite is your second card... love the colours and the sparkly sequins.
Both cards are gorgeous, and yet so different in their appeal. Great job, Loll
Both cards are gorgeous Loll, your no line watercolouring is stunning and love the colours of both cards :)
Oh Loll what beautiful cards you have made using this gorgeous stamp and the wonderful sentiments. love them both :)
Blessings

OMG..Two Gorgeous watercolored cards using your new PB products. I love the new flower stamp set, die cut frames and sentiment sets:-) TFS the links to the new releases. I am off to check them out:-) Love and Hugs..Nancy
Two lovely floral cards Loll - the same stamp but such different looks using different mediums!
Oh this is a pretty release from what I am seeing here Loll! I am loving that stamp you used and the panel die you used. So elegant looking! Of course your no line watercoloring is stunning. Umm, didn't know you could use brusho's the way you did! You second card is so soft and just beautiful and again elegant! I will have to do some experimenting with my brusho's. So far I'm only put them on paper and spritzed water on them. Sigh You are so talented Loll! Hugs, Brenda
Two beautiful cards Loll. Love the PB frame die on the first card. Great effect with the spritzing on the second one.
Two beautiful ways to use this stamp! My wish list grows and grows!
These are so pretty .... what a beautiufl stamp xx
I love the color combination in your cards. Juicy greenery gives hope that spring will come soon. The gentle splashing on the first card gives the impression of magical pollen rising around your plants. I love this card :-)
