Morning.
A quick card this morning as I am playing along with the CAS challenge at Splitcoast.
Isn't this a great flower. So many different colours could be used to add interest but I went for the sunny yellows and orange.
I stamped the flower with Versamark ink onto my watercolour paper, then heat embossed with white. I I sprinkled Brusho over that and sprayed with water to watch the magic happen. Love the rich tones it created with little to no effort.
When it was all dry, I stamped the sentiment using my MISTI. It is such a super tool for stamping over a painted surface as it takes a few times stamped to get a nice, crisp sentiment image.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
