Getting Inky

I had a lovely time yesterday getting inky and making the background for this card using distress inks and water stamping with the addition of some Twinkling H2Os.  Once dry there was some overstamping with versamark, embossed with glittery silver also used to emboss the stamped flowers which were coloured with H2Os and cut out.  This was inspired while watching demonstrations on C & C by Sheena - I just knew I had some flower stamps (from Tanda) which could produce something similar to one of her demonstrations.  I really can't recall when I last used the H2O paints but it was good to bring them out of retirement and I was pleased to see they've not deteriorated at all in storage.

    A stunning card Val, this is lovely and vibrant. I saw the demo also and you've recreated it great.
    What a productive week you've had.

    I've just been playing about with water stamping too - intriguing technique & I love the way you got the background hinting at the shimmery colour of the decoupaged flowers. I have a vast collection of H20s which I desperately want to use - need more time which the elves are still playing havoc with.

    I've had my H20s for years too Val and they are still perfect. I don't use them often enough. I saw some of Sheena's show and great that it inspired you to create this lovely card. The stamped image with the decoupaged flowers is really beautiful as is the stunning background.
