I used the sketch from Stamping411's Saturday Sketch Challenge #185

| Here's the sketch |
When I saw the colors for the Color Challenge on SCS today to use Pretty in Pink, Cherry Cobbler & Melon Mambo with a neutral of choice, this card came together for me.
I inked the flower head with my Pretty in Pink SU Marker and used the Thumping Technique to add Melon Mambo. I inked the stem with my Crumb Cake marker. It took a few tries before I got an image that I liked. If you try this, you may want to practice on scratch paper first.
I masked off the top portion of the card and sponged all three colors on the bottom section.
Something I discovered while doing this card. Sometimes there are areas of the flower head that don't stamp evenly. There is a single flower stamp in this set and by inking and thumping it I could stamp it in the "weak" places and it filled in perfectly!

WOW this is drop dead gorgeous! Something so simple, but so elegant. I don't think I've stamped this flower without having to color it, can't wait to give it a try! Also, thanks for the clever tip on using the mini flower to fill in any gaps!! Thanks for playing along this week :)
I commented on this card but I don't believe it took. Anyway, I love your card and the technique you used. Now, I want to try it.
oh Bonnie this card is lovely and so easy to make in class thank you for the inspiration!
I found the same thing to be true of the hydrangea stamp....some areas don't ink up well, or show up well, or something like that. I like your remedy for that. ANd I LOVE your card! Oh so pretty!!
