Today I will be featuring MFT's Watercolor Flowers stamp set. I haven't done a challenge in a while and wanted to try this week's challenge. When I saw the sketch I immediately thought of the stamp set. I wanted to work with inks today rather than color. I started by stamping the first layers of the flowers with Simon Says Stamp Inks in Sea Glass, Pale Blush Pink, and Lemon Chiffon. The second layer I used Maliblue, Goldilocks, and Cotton Candy. The last layer I used Audrey Blue, Sunshine, and Doll Pink. I used my MISTI to stamp the layers just in case I needed to double stamp; also because I knew I wanted to use Rangers Holographic embossing powder to layer on top of the last layer of inks. Once I stamped my layers I fussy cut the images. I then used a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper to do a background. I started by putting a layer of water onto the paper and using Distress Ink in Cracked Pistachio to pounce some color one, but it wasn't quite looking as I hoped, so I changed my method to the packing technique. I used both Distress Inks and Distress Oxides in the colors Cracked Pistachio as well as Lucky Clover. I also used Twisted Citron in Distress Oxide. Once my smooching was done, I used the largest rectangle in MFT Stitch Rectangle Stax 1 to cut the panel. For the sentiment I used the Springtime Blooms stamp set to heat emboss in white on black cardstock. I popped the sentiment up as well as the two larger flowers. I adhered the smaller flower to the watercolor panel. The final touch was to add some Jewels. I used strong adhesive to adhere the panel to the card base as it warped a bit when I water colored it. I hope you like my card. :)
