I placed this stamp in my MISTI and inked the flowers with Distress Mini Cube Inks,
using a damp waterbrush to move the color a bit and re-stamping as needed.
After the flowers were dry, I used some Tumbled Glass ink smooshed on my palette
and my waterbrush to do a wet on wet wash in the background. And then
added some highlights to the flowers with Prismacolor pencils.
My dear friend, Nancy taught us this split card technique at the ESCR Retreat.
It seemed like the perfect fit for this card.
I'm sharing with The Flower Challenge
Blackeyed Susans are one of my favorite flowers.
They always bring forth happy memories.
