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 :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteoh Bonnie this card is lovely and so easy to make in class thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
