Blooming Garden

Hello again!

This next card will be entered into the Challenges at Cheery Lynn, Lots Of Layers, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes, Memory Box, Water Color, Stamping Sensation, Feature A Creature, and Penny Black, Flower Power.

 
I just love this stamp set from Penny Black, Blooming Garden.  It's full of beautiful flowers!  Using my regular inks and a water brush I 'water colored' the images on water color paper, after stamping in Black Licorice ink.  Then I cut my panel into thirds mounting them on Black card stock so the colors would POP!  Then that panel was mounted on to some Pumpkin Spice card stock.  The striped Designer Paper is by American Crafts.  
 
 

 
Fanciful Flourish by Cheery Lynn cut in green card stock and snipped apart.  Cutting Memory Box's Butterfly Exhibit die also out of water color paper, I colored them using the same technique as the poppies.  I also cropped them.  Topped with some Crystal Drops for accents.  Eyelets.
 
Thanks for fluttering by.
 
Enjoy~~

  15. This is just so gorgeous!! I love your colors, so rich and elegant. Great coloring on the flowers, and then the butterflies go so nicely. Genius to color the butterflies with the watercolor. I have never done that, but will be doing it now. And then the black and white striped paper. That always makes the whole thing pop!! I really, really love this card!!
