May I say how grateful I am for YOU?! I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog and hope you enjoy everything you see! 🙂 I made this card using Simon Says Stamp’s Bouquet of Thanks set, stamping it out onto a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper with Versafine Onyx Black permanent ink. I proceeded to color the image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. To create the watery gray background, I just outlined the image, a little at a time, with one of the gray markers and spread the color liberally with lots of water! Finally, I spattered water from a paint brush and then some of the gray and pink ink watered down and lastly, a little black craft paint.To complete my card, I mounted the panel onto a layer of black card stock, then onto a base card of white. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black.I want to share a completely different card using the same stamp set! The dotted background is actually part of the packaging from Unity Stamps and I had it tucked away in my stash! I cut it down to A2 size (4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″) then heat-embossed the image in black. Using my Prismacolor Pencils I colored in the petals with shades of brown and then a layer of white; I used a damp paint brush to soften the color a bit. I layered the panel onto white card stock, and then a base card of brown. I love the versatility of this stamp set!
