Morning.
Here is today's card using my new flower stamp from Penny Black called Pop Pop Poppy.
I think my favourite type of stamps to play with are my flower stamps. You can add so many colours and techniques when stamping with them and they always look beautiful. I really like this one because I can easily get the look of watercolouring with this stamp and it's so easy.
I cut a piece of watercolour paper then using Memento markers, coloured the flowers. When they were all coloured, I sprayed with water and stamped. The Memento markers are water-based so by adding the water you are able to blend the colours so beautifully. I thought the orange and yellow worked well for Spring as I am craving colour in my life right now.
When the flowers were dry, I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Sprinkles and Smiles stamp set. It has some really fun sayings for birthdays.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
CASology- SPRING
Seize the Birthday- ANYTHING GOES
Simon Says- BIRTHDAY
Shopping Our Stash- NO FOOLIN' FAUX
(faux watercolouring)
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Hope you enjoy a wonderful long weekend.
Supplies: stamps- Penny Black/ Memento markers/ Memento bl ink/ Mini Mister
