Wildflower Spring

These spring flowers are all silhouette stamps from Darkroom Door, some from the Nature Walk set and a few from Wildflowers vol 1 & 2. Even though the stamps are solid with no detail it is possible to use ink pads and markers to give them more depth.

This card is a sample from my Floral Faves online class. In the class I feature no-line watercolour with outline stamps, techniques with brushstroke stamps and ways to use silhouette stamps as featured on this card. I often use my silhouette stamps with a black or dark ink over a sunset sky but I do like to give them colour sometimes with a pale watercolour wash in the background.

I hope you are seeing spring colour in your garden or perhaps fall colour if you are in the southern hemisphere.
