Welcome.
Time for another card for the
This month is an easy one....flowers.
I just picked up this sweet Blossom Bunch stamp last month at Scrapfest and wanted to play with it. One of the reasons I liked it was all the open space on the flower petals which makes it ideal to do a loose watercolouring on.
I began by stamping the flowers onto watercolour paper then watercoloured the petals using my Zigs and a wet paintbrush. When they were dry, I fussy cut them out and set them aside.
I die cut the stitched frame using my Cuttlebug and added some blue gingham paper behind the frame. I think the gingham always adds such a fun and summery look.
Next, I stamped the sentiment using my Misti then popped the flowers in behind the frame.
Added some black pearls to the flower centers.
Added some black pearls to the flower centers.

I love your loosely watercoloured and fussy cut flowers, Karen. Adding your gingham paper behind your die cut window and then tucking in your cut flowers was genius. I love the entire effect of your pretty CAS design my friend. Hugs...
