Prima Floral Stamps and Tim Holtz Daisy Punch Birthday Card


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 :-)
