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.

This A&C stamp is modern and very pretty and the leaf lattice stencils looks great in the background and another lovely sentiment Karen. x
I LOVE that bloom that you used!! It is so graphic and modern. I also like the light stenciling. It adds to the focus of the image. Lovely design.
I love how you did the subtle stencilling around the edges Karen. That scribble stamp is artsy and wonderful and the colour combination on your card is fabulous x.
Beautiful Karen, your stencil is perfect behind the scribbley flower :)
What a stunning card Karen - love the stamp - that's amazing, and the stencilling is just enough to add interest but not detract from the focal point

So pretty. I like how you stenciled lighter in the center. It makes a big difference!
