The daffodils above and the tulips below make up the pretty new ‘Flower Gala’ cling set from Penny Black. I kept my layouts simple positioning each stamp to neatly frame a sentiment. The sentiments are new too, one from each of the new sentiment sets in the ‘So Special‘ release. (listed below). I stamped both the flower stamps in vintage photo distress ink then painted the interior with distress stains which blended with the vintage photo ink for an aged effect
The ‘So Special’ reveal continues on the PB blog this week as the transparent stamps are featured and you still have a chance to win a shopping spree until Feb 28th.
Supplies:
Stamps: Sentiment Collection, Special Thoughts, Flower Gala (PB)
Inks: Vintage photo ink, Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves, Peeled Paint, Abandoned Coral, Worn Lipstick, Forest Moss distress stains (Ranger) Vintage Sepia (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Fabriano 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper, brown cardstock

Sigh. If I didn’t know better, Heather, I would think these flowers were store-bought stickers! They are completely professional and flawless and breathtaking! I know I say this every time, but you could make a living with your art!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
Thanks so much, Darnell.
I love the clean and simple designs here. Your work is always outstanding, and love it when you post! Thanks for sharing you talent so generously!
I’m glad you like the clean look on these; it is a little different to my usual approach. I have two more to share in this style.
Thank you for posting both of those cards. I just got that set yesterday and am anxious to use them. I did stamp off some of the tulips but need to color them. Yours are beautiful!!!
Thank you, Vicki. I’m looking forward to seeing your creations.
Beautiful flowers, Heather! A great reminder that Spring isn’t far off.
Hi Bonnie, with snowbanks as tall as me in my front yard, spring seems a long way off!
These are both quite wonderful Heather and I like the way you have placed them around the sentiments which are lovely too! x
I’m glad you like them Pat, I agree they seem to ‘wrap’ around the sentiments.
Beautiful to say the least and sooooo welcome to see spring colors! Thanks for the inspiration Heather – you always do such a wonderful job!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
I fear spring may be a long way off yet but it is fun to be working with flowers again. Thanks for your encouragement.
Oh to wake up one day and paint like this! How beautiful this is! How I’d love to watch you work! This is amazing!
The daffodils and tulip image is awesome; a must have!
So the stamps look like they might be beautiful to begin with, but then your colouring of them? Wow.
Love the simple, timeless look of the vintage photo outlines, and filling in with stains. It perfectly fits with the sympathy cards I need to make right now. Thanks, Heather. Once again, your inspiration is very timely!
These cards are beautiful! Such wonderful colouring xxx
These are both such wonderful, cheerful cards, any friend would be happy to receive. The stamp sets are very nice.
These are gorgeous, Heather, and I just saw this on Flickr – not sure how I missed them! Beautifully done, and I agree that these are gorgeous images to have!! Hugs!
