Stamplorations blog and maybe win the set. Woot woot!
Do you think grunge when you look at the set? Me too! But I also saw flowers. Ranunculuses to be precise. Ranunculi? Ranunculae? Well, apparently spellcheck couldn't spot a ranunculus if it were standing on top of one. LOL. For the big flowers, I used the large swirl circle then the small inside and finally one of the bullseyes from the string of them inside of that. I used Distress inks and let the colors meld as they would when I applied water. The stems and leaves I free-handed using an angular shader brush. I embossed the sentiment on vellum and added a sprinkling of butterflies.
The Details: Stamplorations Noteworthy and Art Marks, Distress Inks Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Mowed Lawn, PTI kraft cardstock, Recollections 110lb white cardstock base, Versamark, Stampendous detail fine black embossing powder
