STAMPIN' UP! POSITIVE THOUGHTS FLORAL SPRAY CARD

I really enjoyed playing with the Positive Thoughts stamp set as I did on yesterday's card, inking up the images and spritzing with water before stamping onto watercolor paper.  I have created a card in different colours for today - this time, the fern fronds are in Mint Macaron ink, and the flowers in Highland Heather and Balmy Blue inks.  I applied ink directly to the stamps with inkpads, then spritzed the stamps with water before making the impressions on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  When the inks were dry, I used Stampin' Blends markers (in the dark tone of the ink colours), to add subtle splatters to the flowers and foliage, before die-cutting the images.

Here's a closer look at the flowers, the centres of which have been embellished with Iridescent Pearls:

The sentiment, from the Field of Flowers stamp set, was stamped in Highland Heather ink on Thick Very Vanilla card, and cut out using a Tasteful Labels die.  I mounted it on Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  The Very Vanilla card panel behind the leaves and flowers has been embossed with one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders.  My bow is made from the lovely soft "bandage ribbon" (that's my pet name for it), from the Forever Greenery Trim pack.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  They are available to purchase from my online store, which is open 24/7 to Australian residents.

This weekend is our first out of a lengthy lockdown here in Melbourne, so there is a bit of socialising to be done!  I have lunch with a friend lined up, before shopping for some lighting and tiles that I have been unable to source over the last few months.  This "return to normal" is going to take a little getting used to, but it is very welcome.
