Today, I've joined again with Heidi Shafer of Mapleberry Musings
for Ink It Up.
Ink it Up is a challenge where, on the second and fourth Wednesday
of each month, Heidi and I share cards that we've made with new stamp sets
that we haven't used yet.
Today, I'm sharing my card that I made using my
Wplus9 Beautiful Bouquet: Dahlia stamp set.
Here's my card:
I started of by stamping my flowers from Wplus9 Beautiful Bouquet: Dahlia
in versamark and heat embossing them in white on a piece of watercolour paper.
Then, I used three different shades of Zig Markers to colour over top,
using water and a paintbrush to blend the colours.
I stamped my sentiment (from PTI KIS: Sympathy)
in Altenew Evening Grey.
Don't forget to hop over to Heidi's blog to see what
she created for this Ink It Up.

Thanks for looking!
Gorgeous, Leigh! I always need a few sympathy cards on hand.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so soft and pretty! I love the watercoloring. I think it's amazing that we both used a Wplus9 set without coordinating it. What are the odds? Their Beautiful Bouquet stamp sets are on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun challenge you and your friend have. This card is gorgeous. So soft and elegant. You did a great job with those pens.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Sympathy cards are hard, and I always need ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a masterpiece, Leigh. Beautiful colours and such a soft and dreamy effect.
ReplyDeleteOh Leigh this is simply stunning!! I love the colors you used.
