Hanging Flowers and Floral Harmony (posted by Claire)

Good morning, today I'm sharing 3 cards made with some of the gorgeous new stamps which you can find here I love to colour flowers so I thoroughly enjoyed making these cards. My first card features Hanging Flowers


I stamped the focal image onto some white stamping card with black Versafine ink and then stamped twice more on some scraps of stamping card so that I could decoupage some of the flowers. I coloured the images with watercolour pencils, using a damp brush to blend the colour. I coloured around the image with watercolour paint using lots of water to create a muted effect. I stamped the foliage using Take it or Leaf it with a little distress ink. I splashed a little blue and green watercolour paint here and there and added a blue bow and a sparkly dazzler to finish the card off.

I've used the same stamp for this card but I've coloured the flowers pink for a change.  I stamped the image and then masked part of it so I could stamp again to create a larger focal image. 

 

I used watercolour pencils to colour the flowers and leaves and again created a muted green background using the ink on my blending sponge. I splashed some water here and there and blotted it with tissue. Once this was dry I stamped the beautiful Baroque Corners with Versamark and embossed with gold EP. I didn't want to clutter the image with embellies so I just matted and layered using white and pink card .

Last but not least I've used Floral Harmony to make this card. I stamped the image with black versafine and then stamped around the image with the very edge of the stamp to create a border.


I've added some colour using watercolour pencils and paint and stamped a little sentiment before layering up on white and red card. 

I really enjoyed making these cards, they are very simple to make but colouring with pencils and a little watercolour paint is so relaxing.
Thanks for visiting, I hope you're enjoying all the floral delights from my lovely teamies this month
