Best Thoughts

While I still had this stamp set on my table I thought I would make another card with it.  This time using Wisteria Wonder.

My friends' mother-in-law loves purple, so I thought I would make her a card to give to her, I hope she will like it.

I CASE'd Vicki Burdick, you can see her card here.  I really like how mine turned out!

I used Whisper White and Wisteria Wonder card stock.  Inks were Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Old Olive and I used a Daffodil Delight marker to color in the stamens with.  I stamped the main image with Black Stazon first, then stamped another one on some copy paper, cut it out and then used that as a mask to protect the first image while stamping the others on each side.  I used a Aqua painter to color in the images with.  The sentiment is from Birthday Blooms.  I like to color, so I really like doing this type of card too.

I hope you have a wonderful day too, thanks for stopping in.  Mary

Best Thoughts

Good day to all of you, I'm so glad you decided to stop in to see me today!

The stamp set I'm using today is a retiring Hostess set called Best Thoughts.  The last couple days I've seen several people using this set to water color with, so I wanted to try my hand at it too.  This one was inspired by Melissa Davies HERE.

I did my card just a bit different than her.  I used the new In Color 2016-2018 called Sweet Sugarplum!  I used Black Stazon ink for the main image on Whisper White card stock and then pooled some ink in the pad lid and used my Aqua Painter to paint the image in with my color.  The leaves and stem, I used Old Olive.  I used Gorgeous Grunge and stamped the splatter image with Daffodil Delight and then some Soft Sky to outline the whole image with.  

I wrapped retiring Whisper White 5/8" satin ribbon on the bottom and use scraps of card stock to make my banners with.  Then I added a few Basic Pearls and called it good.

I'm sending this card to Shannon West at Stamping' Up!, she recently started a campaign called, #imbringingbirthdaysback, so some of us thought we would send her some cards for her birthday too!
