Today’s card is a second look with the Penny Black ‘autumn bouquet’ stamp. I blended distress inks over a panel of hot pressed watercolour paper before doing any stamping. The colours are listed below.

After blending I stamped the autumn bouquet stamp twice on the panel with brushed corduroy distress ink then painted inside all the leaves, berries and wheat stalks with water. As I painted I also dabbed away water leaving the insides of the images lighter than the outside. I picked up some smooshed ink and dropped it back into the round berries and the wheat berries.

I splattered some water over the panel, let it sit then dabbed it away with paper towel leaving a random pattern of watermarks here and there. The embossed sentiment is from the PB ‘million thanks’ set stamped in fallen leaves versafine clair ink.
Thank you for dropping by. I am indeed grateful for all your support and kindness.

Stunning as usual. Thanks for the inspiration.
That is stunning Heather, quite a simple idea but the finished result looks marvellous. A wonderful autumnal card. x
Lovely autumn colours Heather and I particularly like the water splatters.Our autumn here in the Welsh valley is continuing grey and very wet…just like summer 😦
Hope you have some lovely sunshine.
