A birthday card for a friend who loves pink and for Seize the Birthday "Splatter" , Time Out "Birthday", and Colorful Options "Pink":
After stamping and watercolouring the image, I stamped the splatters, postmark, script etc. with a very pale ink. Added a heat embossed sentiment on a black cs strip.
Another Valentine before the month is over. It's got flowers on it for The Flower Challenge "Add a Heart".
I put the flower stamp (a SU one but I can't remember what set it came from and it's the only one of that set I still have) in my MISTI and coloured it with Tombow markers and stamped and repeated till I was happy with the image. I die cut it with a heart die, die cut a larger heart die out of glitter cs that seemed to blend well with both the red and purple in the image, and added a purple sentiment.

ReplyDeleteBeautifully watercoloured flowers Susan, and some great spatters, postmarks and script in the background, and then the pretty Valentine with more lovely flowers, and the ornate large heart backing it is perfect cut from the super glitter card, and the purple stamped sentiment finishes it brilliantly. x
