Well, this turned out to be a very interesting challenge for me. I only have one impression plate and that is the In Bloom. I embossed that on watercolor paper and also embossed (at the same time) a spellbinder rectangle die, so that I could put in a sentiment. I do not have chalks, so I used my Gelatos and water to color over that. Here is where it gets interesting. Using Distressed inks, I stamped the wreath from A Wreath For All Seasons stamp set. Over the wreaths, I stamped Dahias from the Delightful Dahlia Additions set, to make this unusual flower. Gingham washi tape on the bottom to lighten up the card. I am not sure it I like the results, but see what you think. Here it is.
Just a quick post today! Hope you day is good, and thanks for stopping.
I just love this design you did. Such gorgeous colors and stamped images.
