Happy Smiles. That's what I am doing today.
I am the GD over at the Craft Stamper blog where the challenge this month is:
I got out my watercolour crayons for this one. First, I wet my flower stamp from Unity with water and a paint brush. You could just mist it with a spray but I wanted to be sure it was saturated with water.
I then coloured directly onto the stamp with 2 shades of blue, sprayed with water and stamped. I sprayed with water to give a more blended, watercolour look to the flowers.
When that was dry, I inked the edges of my card using Salty Ocean Distress ink.
When that was dry, I inked the edges of my card using Salty Ocean Distress ink.
I stamped the sentiment from Kaisercraft with black Memento ink and done.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:

The Sisterhood of Crafters- MONOCHROMATIC
