Hello!
Sorry for the delay in posting this today. Very under the weather and my bum hasn’t left the sofa since I got back from church this morning. What a bummer of a way to spend a beautiful Sunday.
But! I wanted to pop in to post the 6th day of my fun using-the-same-stamp challenge with Joy. Today, we both used the Garden Bouquet from Hero Arts.
To create this mini card, I stamped the flowers with a light ink (Antique Linen Distress Ink) and then colored over it with Copics. I then stamped the text background with the same light ink and distressed with Vintage Photo. Easy.
Supplies: Hero Arts flower, text background, greeting and card; Copic Markers; Distress Inks
HERE is a peek at the stamp we used…
You can see Joy’s gorgeous creation with this stamp HERE.
See you tomorrow!

Gorgeous! Great techniques. Hope you feel better soon.
SO SO gorgeous Jennifer. Sorry you’re ill. You have to get well soon…
Love the way you’ve coloured this in. What a fab technique.
that so cool, it looks like you doodled the flowers yourself
How very pretty!! You’re definitely inspiring me to save up for some Copics…

The flowers are so pretty. Love how you added the string!
So sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Rest up and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. This card is gorgeous. Thanks for explaining how you colored it. I first looked at it and could not figure out how you were able to color it. Your copic skills are amazing. The flowers are very realistic looking.
If your (partial) intention was to help sell that stamp, well I’d say you’ve succeeded! Must.have.it. Thanks!
Feel better! This is beautiful!
This is SO beautiful, kind of like a sunset in a garden, with those gorgeous colors! Love it from top to bottom! Feel better soon!
Gorgeous! And such a lovely photo, too!
I’m loving your card – awesome job!
Love the coloring over the light ink and the bright colors you used! Hope you are feeling better soon, Jennifer!
Hope you feel better soon. Pretty card and what a great cling stamp. I love anything flowers.
Great idea to color over the pale stamped image. Very clever! I would not have come up with that one…. That’s why I love to visit your blog! Always great ideas! Have also enjoyed taking a peek over at Joy’s blog and seeing the cards she is making too. Fun week!
Hope you feel better soon!

So creative and clever Jen, I adore how you have created this beautiful card. I would never had thought to stamp lightly with ink and then colour over the top with the copics, genius, Love it! Hugs sweet friend!
This one is just GORGEOUS Jennifer!!! I love the bright colors of the flower! Perfect! Just looking at it should make you feel better!! It’s like you made your own get well card (even though it is a thank you)!
Beautiful card! Hope you’re feeling better soon…
The colouring on this card is stunning. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Light ink-than color. Still learning from you-thank you!
Gorgeous card! Hope you get to feeling better soon.
Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Praying you feel better real soon. Love this card, especially the color combo. This week of challenges has been so fun, thanks for coordinating it with Joy. It has been so good to see how very different you can make two cards with the same stamp!
Gosh, really pretty, makes me want to go pick some flowers from a garden now!
Such a beauty! And, your artistic coloring is outstanding! I thought you’d used Cut ‘n Dry to ink the stamp! Must try your technique. Thanks so much for sharing, and hope you get better really soon. Nelda in TN
beautiful and I love the aged text background
Feel better. Your card is gorgeous!!!
Very creative with the copic coloring over the ink. Love the background as well!
Oh my goodness, my jaw just dropped when I read that you stamped the image with Distress ink and then colored the image. Why didn’t I think of that?! The result is gorgeous and I can’t wait to give it a try with this stamp and my colored pencils.
Hope you feel better soon!
Yep, you just sold another stamp!– and I think I have two hero arts stamps on order already! Your coloring is like a painting. I’m so sorry you are sick this afternoon, but as someone else mentioned, just looking at your beautiful card makes me feel better. Take care.
Beautiful!
OMG, Jennifer! This is so beautiful! I love it and have already sent an email to my scrap/stamp store to see if they have this stamp!
Thank you for all your wonderful creations!
Love the card and you have taught me yet another technique:) I would not have thought to stamp in a light ink and then color over top! I really like these HA cling stamps, have started a small collection…
It’s here… it’s almost here!! I get to meet you on Saturday at Angela’s. Can’t wait to learn some coloring tips!! Hope you’re feeling 100%.
Very cool technique. Your card is beautiful. I must get that stamp!
