Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I've pulled out an old but well loved stamp for this card.
I inked the stamp with markers, stamped and pulled the color into the flowers
with a damp waterbrush. I added some highlights and colored in the stems with
watercolor pencils.
Once the image was dry, I die cut the image added some embossing. I've also added
a little texture to the coral background with another old and well loved item,
the canvas, linen embossing plate.
I really love these colors!

Very pretty. Great use of the challenge colors. Love those poppies.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Bonnie. I can see why it's one of your favorites. I feel that we buy the stamps because we loved them and should continue to embrace what we love and if we don't then what is the point. Hmmmm...Maybe I should start a new challenge...Make Old New Again. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie, you can never go wrong with a well loved stamp, not matter how old it is. I love the color combo and the added black gives that elegance to it. Makes your stamped panel pop as well. Hugs, Brenda
