Spring Flowers

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a card using the beautiful Statement Flower stamp set (Altenew).  I love these large flowers!

First stamped and heat embossed in Princess gold embossing powder, then watercoloured with distress inks ... a few times as I kept changing my mind about the colours.  I believe I started with Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade, but the final ink on top is Abandoned Coral.  Peeled Paint was used for the leaves.

To finish, heat embossed the sentiment in the same gold powder and then splattered with diluted green ink.

Close-up ...  you can really see how bright yellow gold this embossing powder is ...

    I love abandoned coral so I love this card. The gold looks beautiful and that is a bright embossing powder. Pretty green splatters.

    Beautiful big blooms, Loll! I love the layers of the colors. You can see yellow under the translucent coral color. The shiny Princess Gold embossing adds pretty flare.

    Your layered colors made the end result all the more pretty! Abandoned Coral is one of my favorites, and you know you sold me on the Princess Gold. Large flowers like this are a joy to watercolor. Love the green splatters. Beautiful work, Loll!

    These are large and stately flowers that only Altenew can do so well! Loving that gold embossing powder you used Loll, it has some shine to it and looks amazing. Your color choices or changes, lol, made for a beautiful color combo. Love how your flowers look! Hugs, Brenda
