Simply Wonderful

 

Happy Saturday, peeps!  No challenge today, just a card I made as a sample for my stamp clubs last week, and I wanted to share it.  This features the new Bloom and Grow set, which is just lovely, especially since it comes with matching dies and several nice sentiments!  I wanted to try my hand at heat-embossing the image in white and watercoloring it in, so I chose some purple hues (which I struggle with)  and went to work:

I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Rococo Rose, Mango Melody, Mint Macaron and Coastal Cabana inks to color in the image, using less or more water to create lighter and darker shades:

I also stamped some smaller flowers in Highland Heather (stamped them off once for a lighter shade), diecut them and tucked them behind the image along with some silver thread.  I finished if off with one of the sentiments from the set and mounted my florals on some Highland Heather DSP.  Oh, and I did add a little leaf to peek out from the top of my DSP as well, just for fun!

Thanks for popping in today!  Be sure to stop back tomorrow as I am the Paper Player hostess with a new challenge for you!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

For some reason, this photo just cracks me up, with those big bubbles coming up...she's like a little fish!
