Ink It Up with Heidi Shafer -- Altenew's Floral Shadow

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 two cards that I made using my 

Altenew Floral Shadow stamp set.

For my first card, I used a technique using my Zigs,

where I colour directly onto my stamp with my marker and then 

spritz it a couple times with water before stamping it onto my watercolour background.

I stamped the sentiment (also from Floral Shadow) in versafine black

and added some sequins and a black cardstock border.

I felt the card was missing something, so I stamped some floral centres in black

using PTI's Bloomers set.

I also made this card, stamping the images from Floral Shadow in 

orange zest, sweet blush and scarlet jewel onto watercolour paper.

I added a little more ink mixed with my water brush and

coloured over the images, to lend more of a watercolour effect.

I stamped the sentiments (from Wplus9 Happy Wishes stamp set)

directly onto the background in versafine onyx black,

as well as onto a strip of black cardstock, which I heat embossed in seafoam.

A few rainstones finish it off.

Don't forget to hop over to Heidi's blog to see what
she created for this Ink It Up.

Thanks for looking!
