Hi everyone. I'm sharing another of the Penny Black new Release - Refreshing. This image is from the stamp set
Refreshing (30-695 ).
I love this sweet little posy. I smooshed a background of Mustard Seed and Wild Honey. Once dry, I stamped my flowers in water-proof black ink. I heat set to make sure the ink was dry before bleaching out the background colours from the flower petals and stems. I blotted with a wet paper towel after bleaching to make sure there wasn't any bleach residue that would effect my colours. Then watercoloured with Distress inks. I added a bit of shading with watercolour pencils, not much as the flowers are so small. Once everything was dry, a white Posca pen was used to whiten the centers of the flowers before adding crystal drops. Frame the image in a small rectangle and stamped a sentiment in black ink. Done! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Loll! Love your technique and the beautiful posie!
ReplyDeleteA great colour combination with the pretty blue flowers and the yellow and orange background Loll and the bleaching removed the colour to leave a lovely blank canvas for you to add the colour to the flowers and stems, and love the rectangular frame and the simple sentiment too. x

It's a cute little forget-me-nots bouquet and such a sweet card, Loll. Thank you for the description of how the card was created. It was not that simple, the more I admire the details of the card

What a delightful card and your background rocks! Forgetmenots grow wild in my garden (back yard) they always make me smile because they remind me of my mother. x
