Bloomin Beautiful Thanks

Hello.  Are you deep into Christmas preparations?

Our halls are decked, cards are in the mail and our girls and
grandkids come tomorrow for Cookie Day.

I needed some stamping therapy!

So I found took a few minutes to make a card.

I used an old wood block stamp for my watercolor flower.

Simple and sweet.

I've stamped with a permanent ink and colored with Zigs.

The wash was done by smooshing some Distress ink on my palette

and picking up the ink with a damp waterbrush.  I wet the background

and dropped the color onto it, moving it around with my brush.

I die cut and popped the image on a piece of foam for dimension

and it was done.

I'm joining in at

The Flower Challenge #27 

 I used an old retired Stampin' Up! stamp.

Craft Stamper Magazine: Take It Make It Challenge

and there's still about a week to join in at

Challenge closes on December 15th.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
