Pansy Bouquet

Today I am featuring yet another beautiful botanical stamp from the new Happy Everything collection. To create this panel I stamped the leafy border stamp from the Twirls set as background. I inked the pansy bouquet with markers, stamped it, then spritzed with water. Using a waterbrush and memento inks stamped on an acrylic block as a palette I filled in the pansies and leaves. When the panel was almost dry I added yellow centres with a marker. I splattered some light blue and green colour from watercolour pencils to complete the panel.

Simply…yeah right!!!! I have seen some beautiful work of yours in the past but I have to say this has to be my favourite, and I don’t say that lightly. How I wish, at time like this, I lived in Ottawa! If ever you are in Brittany…just let me know! When God blesses someone with a skill, He delights in the sharing of that skill. He delights in you. Thanks for sharing!
Pansies are a long-time favourite, and they look beautiful here, Heather. 🙂
As the snow continues to fall here in West Virginia, I’m so happy to see your pansies. Thanks, as always, for sharing your techniques. That’s a lovely card.
