Happy Birthday – Cloud 9 Blog Hop…

Hey friends!

I am here *so* quick to post my card for this month’s hop over at the Cloud 9 blog.

I adored this month’s inspiration photo, and felt it was time for me to give this whole ‘watercolouring with stamps’ thing a try. Time consuming, but I did enjoy it!

Here is the inspiration:

I drew from the colours, and the background, plus gave my card a floral theme:

Here’s a quick run down of what I did… I stamped the largest image from Embroidered Bouquet in a fairly neutral ink, then went in with the single image stamps that Dawn included, which mimick the bouquet’s florals, and stamped those in my chosen colour scheme, right on top of their matches in the main image. I don’t have reinkers, so I just blotted my ink pads on a piece of acetate, and picked it up from there with my wet paintbrush. Then I just let things flow! I also spritzed some Tattered Angels on there to add some interest.

That’s it! Look at that, I try to keep things super short, and I still can’t stop talking… typical!

Have a lovely Sunday, guys!
