Hello! For this card I have used one of my oldest and favorite poinsettia stamps from PSX. I think this may be the first time that I water colored it. I used Distress Oxide ink Fired Brick to stamp the image on watercolor paper and used a water brush to color with Fired Brick, Lucky Clover, Peeled Paint, and Fossilized Amber DOI. I added some highlights to the center of the flowers with a Metallic Gold Gelly Roll pen. I used Spellbinders Regal Frame dies to cut a frame from Fresh Asparagus CS and used a Shimmery Yellow Pearl CS as the card base. The sentiment from GKD was stamped with SU Always Artichoke ink.

The Flower Challenge: Challenge #27 use an older stamp or die. The stamp is dated 1992 so I know it is an old one. The die that I used is about 3 years old.
Have a great day! I love reading your comments.

This stamp might be an oldie but its still a goodie!! You did an incredible job with your watercolouring. I love the softness of the Oxide inks, really adds to this image. And the intricate but simple frame in green sets it off beautifully. I'm so glad you shared this with us at The Flower Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poinsettia image with beautiful colouring and your frame is a perfect finishing touch.
