I hope everyone that celebrates Labor Day is having a nice holiday today. Our weather is all sunshine but a little hot at 91 degrees. I have never had good luck coloring on stamps before but the challenge at https://casmixup.blogspot.com/ is doing that. Okay, I've been trying all sorts of things new to me so why not try this again. It did take me two tries but I like the second result. I used Zig watercolor brush markers in two shades of pink and two shades of green to ink up this 2007 Penny Black wood mounted stamp called Windflower. My daughter in law picked it out for me to make their wedding invitations with. This is only it's second outing. The frame is Gina Marie and the sentiment is Stampin Up. I colored on the stamp, die cut a frame and stamped the greeting so I am entering it in the

Wow Brenda, this card turned out stunning! I think you have master the stamping with markers my friend. I love how beautiful your flower looks, I love that flower. The mat you have it on is just beautiful as well and I love that you placed it on a color card base. Well done my friend! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing you decided to try it again because this is beautiful! The pinks and greens are the perfect shades and go together so well. I love the edging detail on the die cut too. I know I attempted that technique years ago, but with better markers and a MISTI, I just might have another go at it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful flower, Brenda! I LOVE how you've used the two colors of pink and of green to ink it up! A beautiful, lacy frame for it too! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
