I bought this very pretty fabric that I am going to make a purse/bag out of and it inspired me to make a couple of cards using some of the colors. (I will post the bag on my Dirty Fingers blog when I am finished with it.) I thought I would try something a little different. I took some versamark and stamped the images, then I sprinkled some clear embossing powder on them and heated it until it melted. I then used my watercolor brushes to color the flowers. I like the large yellow flower and how it came out. I am not a very talented watercolorist so if it looks interesting then I like it. I didn't like the other flowers as well so I added some glitter to them. I love the new fan dry embossing folder from SU! It is a very pretty pattern.
My second card is rather simple. I like simple, and I can usually do simple with good results. I love the vintage type cards with layering and distressing also but I don't seem to be able to manage a good looking card! Of course, I will keep trying...
This is stamped using the Fifth Avenue Floral SU set that is now retired. I really like this set and will continue to use it.
Thanks for looking and please leave a comment...
