I used a Penny Black stamp called Red Delight and came up with this simple card:
I used my MISTI and first colored the stamp directly with a couple SU! markers (Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, & Mossy Meadow) and repeated until I had the depth of color I wanted. Then I used an Aqua Painter to lightly spread some of the color beyond the leaves and flower to give more of a water colored look. I used another Penny Black set (Rejoice With Joy) for my sentiment, and then layered with a piece of Old Olive cs and then attached to a white card base. At this point I should have just left the card alone, but thought I would add some gold WOS to the center of the flower. It was a good thought, but nothing was coming out of the pen at first so I gave it what I thought was a small squeeze...apparently it wasn't a small squeeze! A huge glob came out of course...oh no!! I cleaned up as much of it as I could, and while it doesn't look terrible, it doesn't look like what I had envisioned! At this point it was what it was, so I called it good!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
