Growing Green and Just Believe

Here is the second card I designed for the April Stamp Club with the Growing Green Stamp Set (118758 wood, 120624 clear). This  is my interpretation of Delphiniums.

I chose watercolour paper (105019) to create my delphiniums. When I stamped the image            of the flowers I loaded the stamp with              Versa Mark (102283) first then with               Elegant Eggplant Ink (105210) and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder (109130) and a Heat Tool (100005). I spritzed the paper with water allowing the water to pool in the embossed areas and I used an Aqua Painter (103954) and a couple of drops from an Elegant Eggplant Ink       Refill (105222) . I touched the pools of water with the ink to colour the flowers. When they were dry I spritzed the "sky" area and applied colour with an Aqua Painter and a few drps from a Marina Mist Ink Refill (119787). I removed excess colour with a baby wipe. The bottom of the card front is Elegant Eggplant Cardstock (105126) stamped with an image from the Just Believe Stamp Set (116948 wood, 120453 clear) .I stamped with VersaMark and clear Embossed the image. the ribbon I chose to tie the two pieces together is Old Olive 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (109054). My card is Marina Mist Cardstock (119682). This card is perfect for any occasion.
