Floral corners

Today’s card features two new brushstroke stamps from Penny Black. The pink flowers in two corners of my panel are from a vase + flowers set called ‘painter’s vase’. I just used the flower stamp but there is a vase stamp I’ll use another day.
I used my stamp positioning tool (MISTI) and placed the flower stamp overlapping one corner of the hot pressed watercolour panel. I stamped the whole image in worn lipstick distress ink knowing the forest moss ink would be bold enough to cover the pink later. Without moving stamp or panel I inked centres and edges of the flowers with candied apple distress ink, stamped then blended the two pinks with water. I then added black soot ink to the flower centres, stamped and let the panel dry. I coloured in the flower centres with a sun yellow inktense pencil and shaded some of the flower centres and edges with poppy red. Then I flipped the panel 180° and repeated the whole process.
To add a background I had to mask the flowers so I stamped them on masking paper, cut them out and covered my completed corners while I stamped ‘a floral twist‘ stamp in weathered wood distress ink and added a few splatters too. All that was left was to add a sentiment; I decided on something small from ‘grateful sentiments’ on a little die cut label with the edges sponged in worn lipstick ink.
Thanks for dropping by today; it is great to be blogging with a bit of regularity again.

Gorgeous card Heather, I love those flowers, so pretty 🙂
These flowers are really pretty Heather. Definitely a must for the class.
I will keep that in mind; I am always happy to hear suggestions!
You have achieved such beautiful depth and dimension on these flowers, Heather! I love that watery background too!
Beautiful picture. I would love to paint like that.
Must remember this lovely half-tone background stamp perfectly balanced under the vivid focal. Now if only we could get around the masking……
The red is so beautifully bright against the softer grey background Heather, and the masking has worked well as the background looks perfect, and a great sentiment too. x
Such a beautiful card!
Gorgeous colours and design. Great card!
Gorgeous creation, love the layout for your stamping!
