That was a year ago and this is the first time I've used it!!!!!!! Just had to have it, never use it!!! Does anyone else do that?
The image was stamped using Versamark on watercolor paper.
I heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder.
Used an aqua painter and Distress Inks in dusty concord, picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and wild honey for the flowers.
The inks used for the leaves were bundled sage and forest moss.
The background was done using salty ocean.
The colored card used for layering and the vellum on the yellow card were snippets and scraps from my scrap drawer. Why does this supply of scraps never seem to get smaller?
I'm taking this card to Pixie's Snippets Playground and joining my friends for Challenge # 191
Here in Minnesota it's beginning to feel like Autumn. The windy, cool weather that we're having now is about a month early. We commented yesterday that we hadn't seen any Robins in our yard for a while now so some of the birds are starting to migrate South. This SnowBird will be waiting until October. I better get some Fall cards made!
ta ta for now, Kathy
Beautiful cards, Kathy. I'm the same, I drool over a new stamp or die for ages, then when temptation gets the better of me, I don't actually use it for ages! Weather here more like winter than summer too, cold and wet. Still, good excuse for staying in and doing some crafting! ;-) xx
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, I love your card. I just bought this stamp last weekend and will be posting a card I made with it soon. Your coloring is beautiful on both cards. I love the purple one best I think. As for buying something you just had to have and then didn't use, you can add me to that group too! I don't know why I do that.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy I thought I was the only one who couldn't live without a stamp then didn't use it for ages then I find you and Liz are the same. There must be loads of us around!
ReplyDeleteWell I can see why you wanted this stamp. It's a beauty. I love the way you've coloured your cards and done the background too. I think the yellow one is probably my favourite but they're both stunners. Barbxx
Fabulous cards...love your stamp and how you have used it. Add me to the guilty list too of 'want, need and then just store'.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why you drooled over this stamp and I do exactly the same sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards and love both colour ways.
