Hi everyone. I'm back with a second card using one of the images from the Refreshing Stamp set (30-695). I love this pretty vase of roses ...
The image was stamped with archival (permanent) black ink over top of a paper towel transfer background. This background is from a soft blue ink mop-up towel from a previous project.
I heat set the image before watercolouring with distress inks. When finished, I stamped a black sentiment to finish the card from the Family Sentiments Stamp set (30-555).
Close-up ...
Thanks for stopping by!

What a delightful and pretty card Loll x. The vase of flowers looks beautiful and so is your mop up background x.
ReplyDeleteYou have got to love a vase of flowers, so simple and yet wonderful. I have a pile of ink encrusted paper towels waiting for me to use the transfer technique, must get round to it soon! You have managed to make such an interesting background with yours xx
ReplyDeleteYou have me inspired, Lolly...as always. I Love your pretty bouquet stamped and colored over your soft paper towel transfer background. Recently I was looking at All my transfer backgrounds...seeing your beautiful card really makes me want to use at least one for a background...lol! TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteOh you always use the most fun techniques, Loll! You have too many to remember, ha! This mop-up towel print is so soft, but mighty effective!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty way to say such a nice thing to hear!

Love these pretty shaded, purple flowers, Loll! They are so pretty with the gray vase and the paper towel transfer background!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty flowers Loll and such an elegant look, and love the soft transfer of colour with the texture of the paper towel left behind too, and also the white gel pen stamens which stand out so beautifully. A wonderful card! x
ReplyDeleteThis softly colored design is precious, Lolly! No one does paper towel transfers as well as you do! The colors are just dreamy! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteHow exquisite - that background is perfect for the soft colouring on the vase and flowers
ReplyDeleteStay safe

I agree the stamp is lovely and so handy for many occasions. Love the sentiment too, a beautiful card.

This is a lovely vase of pretty flowers for someone who is so thoughtful. I love that sentiment. I have two paper towels waiting in the wings (well actually sitting on my Wii platform) to be used on the right card. You are so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the paper towel background and your water coloring on the vase and flowers...SOOOOO pretty! CAS perfection my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely vase of roses, Loll! I love the soft colors. I was surprised to find out the pale pink was Aged Mahogany. The paper towel transfer is so subtle and the colors and the visual texture are just perfect for the vase.

I recognized your paper towel background right away. Subtle and so very cool! Such a pretty bouquet and the color is divine. Lovely card, Loll! I've been saying I need more new flower stamps, so I ordered some (different site) and now my order is stuck there with a non-functioning "place order" button, sheesh.
ReplyDeleteSoft and so pretty, Loll ... the subtle texture-y background is just dreamy! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- from the wonderful flowers, great coloring, to the texture provided by the paper towel, this is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercoloring on the vase and roses and I love how you created the background! Such an elegant card, Loll! xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely. The vase of flowers is beautiful, and I love the soft background colour xx
ReplyDeleteSo elegant and delicate! I love the soft wash:)
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp too and I adore your card! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color scheme. The gray of the vase emphasizes the color of the flowers. I love this card, Loll.
