Graceful Flowers

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I really didn't need any more flower stamps.  But these were so much fun to color.


I stamped them with embossing ink and heat embossed with white powder.
This time I colored with my Zigs.

The die was a real splurge.  Simon Says Stamp sent me a gift card that went toward it.
Thank you Simon.

Amazing, Bonnie! Beautiful flowers can always be a pull, and I agree that the dies are the splurge. Great card!

I love how those flowers fill your slimline card, Bonnie, and you colored them beautifully. Gift certificates are meant for splurging so I'm glad you were able to get the die too. Thanks for sharing this lovely card with us at The Flower Challenge.

Beautiful new flower stamp - I can see why you had to buy it! You coloured it so well! I'm like that with bird stamps - I have more than enough but then I see another new one and have to buy it!

Bonnie, I felt the same way when I saw this floral spray - I don't need it but it was too pretty to resist! LOVE how you white heat embossed it and water colored with bright colors. So gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing over at The Flower Challenge!

Nancy Penir said...

Bonnie, so glad you caved and added this floral to your stash! You colored it to perfection, and love it on this slim shaped card. The white embossing lets the bright colors stand out. A beautiful card! Thanks for joining us at the Flower Challenge.

This is lovely.

First of all, it's a really pretty stamp. But the stamp itself isn't enough. When it's painted in an interesting way, it comes alive. And that's exactly what you've managed to do on this card
