Squeezed a few drops of dye reinkers onto pieces of watercolor paper and then spritzed some water -- more on the paper on the right. Dabbed a piece of paper towel on the paper on the left. Stamped flowers from Altenew's Adore You, making sure to leave white on the flowers. Repeated for the leaves. Love this variation of colors.
Removed the back layer of the watercolor paper so it was nice and thin and trimmed out the flowers and leaves. Assembled onto a soft gray card that I had speckled with black paint. Look closely at the top photo and you might see that the card is scored every half inch.
Was inspired by Altenew's current inspiration challenge.
Here's the inspiration photo:
And one more look at my card.... This will be hard to mail so it will be hand delivered to a friend.
MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy. I have plenty of flowers and leaves for more cards.

Love those intense colors - really beautiful!
I love what you did with the flowers! Looking at the paper I wouldn't have thought they'd come out so cool, but once they're cut out and arranged, it's amazing the effect. I just bought my first Altenew stamps, but who knows when I'll get around to using them. This is certainly inspiring.
