Well this is a totally different type of card for me but that is one reason I really started a blog to try different ideas and learn new skills instead of being stuck in the same routine, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The stamp is Hero Arts and what I call an inverted stamp, the background is stamped in a colour, in this case Memento, Pear Tart, and the image comes out white. I have used various Ranger distressed inks to colour in the flowers, using a thing that you put on your finger and dab with, can't remembert the actual name of them.
MS butterfly punch, yes I know I don't like butterflies on cards but you do get butterflies in the garden and this is one butterfly image I can tollerate.
All card is from Craftwork Cards.
The papers are Prima.
Thank you all for looking and any comments are more than welcome.

Beautiful soft colours Kath its all dreamy and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think you used a finger dabber, I bought some more at the show on friday so I don't have to mix colours

This is a beautiful card Kathleen.... I LOVE those colours you've used and that technique is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you re butterflies... I don't mind wasps and bees in the garden, but if I see a butterfly I'm liable to turn and run no matter how beautiful people tell me they are!! But I do have one or two punches now... just struggle to use them!
