Sending Happy Thoughts

Good Morning.

I picked up a new flower stamp last month and wanted to play with it.  I loved the scribbled look it had, something different from the norm.

So here's what I did.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed it into my Misti.  I inked up the flower with some Versafine black ink and stamped.  I did the sentiment as well then using some diluted DOX inks, I watercolored the flowers loosely as per the scribbled look of the stamp.  

Next, I took the Leaf Lattice stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and added some faint stencilling around the edges of my card front, just to add a bit of interest but not to take away from the image.

When I was happy with the coverage, I mounted it onto a piece of grey cardstock then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
