Happy Friday.
I was happy I had time to play with a new sentiment stamp that I just picked up from Stampendous.
I wanted to make it the focal point of my card so here is what I did.
I began by placing the flowers by Magenta into my Misti. I colours them with my Zig markers, sprayed with water and stamped.
Next, I used my Misti again to stamp the sentiment with Memento black ink then clear embossed.
I also stamped the sentiment in the background but heat embossed it with white powder.
I rubbed Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks over my card front to help reveal the sentiment in the background and to pull all the colours together.
Adding my card to these challenges:

Supplies: stamps- Stampendous, Magenta/ ink-Distress, Memento/ wh eb powder/ heat tool/ MISTI/ Zig markers

This is so gorgeous with the bright yellows in those blooms. And, what a wonderful sentiment too! I really love this design.
Looking at your card is like a ray of sunshine on a grey damp Vancouver day. Love the colours and your fabulous new sentiment - I like the way you repeated it in white going off the panel.
