Faux watercolor flower

Hello. I just received the new Willow Wolfe stamps from Sizzix and had to play right away.

I used distress inks in Victorian velvet, aged mahogany, and scattered straw to create the flower. I added the lighter ink first, spritzed with water, stamped, repeat with all other colors.  The leaf and stem stamp was done using tombow markers and a bit of water spritzed on it.

After this dried, I went back with the outline stamp and stamped it with Versafine ink.  Love the results.

Adding this to the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - beautiful blooms

Happy Anniversary

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Romance/Wedding/Anniversary challenge today.  I made this clean and simple anniversary card using Sizzix dies from Tim Holtz.

I found a man and a woman among the layers from Idea-ology and popped them behind the yellow vellum to create that old-time look. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I also stacked up the main layer using foam tape for added dimension.
