Welcome to the weekend and meet today's card.
I am having fun playing along with the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast this am. Today, we are being inspired by the Great Big Canvas site. Here is the canvas that inspired my card:
My card was made using some wonderful new products from Penny Black. I inked up the
Gentle Whisper stamp by colouring it with Memento markers. I coloured directly onto the stamp adding different shades of orange and reds; so easy to do. I sprayed with water to help the colours blend, then stamped onto a piece of watercolour paper. I repeated that process several times and then when dry, I went back in with a paint brush and some water and filled in a bit then splattered some of the colour on the background.
After the piece was totally dry, I used the new die called Stitched Edges to cut the curve with my Cuttlebug and added the red piece of card stock behind that for interest. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the
Sprinkles and Smiles set.
Sprinkles and Smiles set.

Oh this is yummy, Karen! Gorgeous inking, and I love your overall design!
How gorgeous this is...beautiful colours, stunning flowers! I've never tried 'water-colouring' with my Memento inks, so adding this to my 'must try' technique list. Thank you for sharing your creativity in the ATSM gallery!

Can't believe that stamp is called gentle whisper. I was going to say that I can almost sense the wind swaying those lovelies. And die cutting the panel with that shape was a fabulous idea. Thanks for joining us at the MMCC this month!
