Falling Flowers has sat very patiently on my shelf waiting to be used. What took me so long ?!! The stylised flowers and leaves are so very pretty.
Anyway, I haven't used Night of Navy in a while and thought that it would be just perfect for this technique.
I heat embossed some flowers and leaves onto my card base 10 x 3.5 inches scored at 5 inches to fit into an envelope from my pack of note cards and envelopes (20 cards and envelopes for £5.50).
Then I took my Whisper White Craft inkpad and a blender pen and coloured each of the flowers and leaves by gently applying and giving each a nice translucent look. I love how the chalky flowers contrast so prettily with the dark card stock.
The sentiment is from the Daisy Delight Photopolymer set.
I really loved this technique and am using it again over the coming days - same stamp set but a completely different colour scheme.
Thanks for looking - and please pop back again.

DeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteThat is what my hubby has said to me recently 'Have you used all the stamps/stamp sets you have?" I had to be truthful to him and tell him 'no' I had not used everyone of my stamps/stamp sets in a project yet. So I am not purchasing any more stamps/stamp sets until I have done this. Well done you too for using a stamp set that needed to be used. It is a beautiful stamp set too, that makes a beautiful card.
:O)
Thank you Lorraine - I wonder how long you will be able to stick to that little promise ! LOL xxxx
DeleteMy husband is a golfer and a potter. We don't EVER have that discussion.
