Hi everyone! So excited today to announce that I have been invited to join with the lovely ladies at Newton's Nook and help introduce their March stamp Release! Yippeeee! Thanks so much, Jen, for inviting me! There will be sneak peeks the next three days and then all the new products will be available for sale on Friday the 20th! Let's have some fun! Oh, and there are PRIZES! (see more below)
Today we are introducing you to the "Beautiful Blossoms" stamp set. It's a fun and funky set of pretty flowers that are so versatile - you can make all different looks. I chose to do some watercoloring with the flowers in pretty shades of purple and yellow - just right for Spring. Here's my card!
I stamped my images in crisp black ink onto watercolor paper and then used different distress inks to color the flowers. After they were dry, I cut them out and mounted them onto another panel of watercolor paper with foam squares.
I used a wet brush and some of the purple ink to make 'splatters' of color on my main panel. I chose a pretty yellow cardstock to pull in the yellow from the flowers - kind of make the project all come together.
For those of you who are new to my blog today - I LOVE enamel dots! LOL. I kinda want to put them on everything! Here they make perfect flower centers!
Would you like to win "Beautiful Blossoms?"

Wow, yet another gorgeous card! I love pink and yellow together! I will have to scraplift this idea of using the brad as the center of the flower and pop up the petals. Gorgeous!
