Please excuse the back to back posts, but I was trying to squeeze in some more birthday stamping for the SSS 7th birthday bash (not to mention the SEVEN $50 prizes...) Anyway, like I was saying in the last post, I decided that I should just do what I do and then why not do it again and again when it works well? So I whipped out another card using the same techniques as the last one. This time I took a pick so you could see the layers of stamping and how the ink flows more in some areas than others when you stamp onto your wet watercolor panel.
I went a little heavier on the stamping this time, and it was so much fun!
I decided to break out my new Prima flower stamps. I had cut out a bunch of them, intending to loosely watercolor them like so. I wanted to brighten the background up, so I switched to a different paint. For the background I was trying to use up some dried WC in my palette and it was pretty, but I wanted to go brighter for a birthday card.
Over the weekend I played around with making embellishments, to get me through the creative lull. I punched out a bunch of Tim's new daisy flowers and dipped each cut into pools of distress ink, then shaped them. I tried to mix the colors up a little.
So what do you think about this card featuring ELEVEN different stamps?! Ha! That's gotta be a record... The sweet focal image is Paperbag Studios. :)

I Loved the Focal Image, reminds me of the good old days !! 11 different stamps.. They all gelled well together . If I try, all would be so contrasting :) I Loved the Blue hues...

I'd say it is a record for sure! The Spring tones work beautifully on the flowers and I just love how you added the teeny daisies.. I was just thinking how much I love your pink version but this one takes equal place - it really is beautiful.
Thanks so much for joining in our Spring is in the Air challenge at A Vintage Journey. Hugs, Anne xx

Ummm, did you read my comment on the previous post-- I said "do your thing" and then you at the beginning of this. So funny.
Love the greens here, and you cover them all: pine to turquoise. Your flowers came out great!
Forgot to say...using eleven stamps is just amazing!!! Also, I can't do CAS either, just can't...wish I could, but never works out that way :-)
I always enjoy your projects and this one is so lovely.
The colors all work together so well and the flowers are sweet. Thanks for joining us at A Vintage Journey.
