For SSSFlickrChallenge#16.
SSS Products: Flowers on my Mind
Inks: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade (Distress)
Dies: Finley's ABCs (Lawn Fawn)
I finally picked up the new-ish set by SSS called Flowers on My Mind. These flower kind of remind me of Hawaii, so I made a card for a friend who is getting married in Hawaii. I decided to try the faux watercolor stamping in the spirit of the current SSS Flickr Challenge. I inked up the stamp, and then spritzed it a few times with water. In retrospect, these flowers may be a little too detailed for this technique, I think. You lose some of their fun, quirky details. The letters were die cut from a piece of paper watercolored with the pink, orange and yellow smooshed as a wash for a background.
Also entering this into the SSS Monday Challenge (A is for...) and the SSS Wed Challenge (April Showers/Spring Flowers).
