Hello Friend with Lydia

Hello there everyone and a very happy Friday to you!

Lydia here with you and I have a one layer watercolour card to share using the beautiful In Bloom: Anna's Flora.

 

To start I stamped a cluster of flowers and leaves using Anna's Flora- I masked the flowers after stamping them so I wouldn't stamp over them, this also gives the look that the flowers and leaves are behind each other. I used VersaFine ink as when it is dry you are able to use water over the images without them bleeding. Once the ink was dry I added some colour to the images using Distress Ink- I used a couple of different colours of Distress Ink on the flowers and leaves to give a fun look while still leaving some white on the images. I look the carefree look this gives.

 

After colouring the images I still wanted to add some more colour in places, so instead of stamping more images and colouring them I added some splashes of colour using the same ink colours I used for the flowers. I then let this dry before adding the sentiment. For the sentiment I used The Big, The Bold and Happy- I love this sentiment set! I love large sentiments and especially ones you can 'build', I always find that a bold sentiment like this finishes a card off perfectly.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do hope you feel inspired! See you again soon and have a beautiful day. 

Hugs, Lydia x
