Hi everyone, I wanted to play along at CAS Watercolour this month as they are celebrating the birthdays of two fabulous ladies, Darnell and Bonnie. Both are amazing card makers who always inspire me and their blogs are such fun to visit.
Happy Birthday ladies!!
The theme is bouquet. I knew I had purchased this stamp ages ago, one of the few flower stamps I have lol!
For the background, I brushed on some oxide inks in victorian velver, squeezed lemonade, crushed olive and milled lavender with some toothbrush makeup brushes, then spritzed with some water.
The bouquet is clear embossed and coloured with worn lipstick and dried marigold distress inks. I pressed some ink onto an acrylic block and used that to watercolour.
I'm also linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where it's make your own background.
Seize the Birthday, I'm playing with the anything goes option.
AAA Birthday For the Girls.
The Flower Challenge, pretty pastels.
Supplies:
Stampendous blossom bunch stamp; versafine ink & clear ep; distress inks and oxide inks; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,

Such a soft and beautiful card. Love your blended background! Thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteLove how you colored the flowers with these colours. Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Birthday Challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creative projects in the future galleries again.
ReplyDeleteJust doing some catch up, Cathy on your blog, you remind me how long it is since I pulled out my Oxides. So many neglected items, love the way used them on background and added the bouquet. Wonderful. Thanks for popping over and your encouragement.
