Day 5 of Inspired Stamp Challenge Week

It’s Day 5 of my Inspired Stamp Challenge with the wonderful Jill Foster

Please forgive my brief post. I am at a stamp retreat in the middle of nowhere on a farm. It is heavenly heavenly heavenly, but the internet connection is slow. ☺

Today we will be using the Three Sunflowers Hero Arts stamp along with THIS inspiration card by Jill.

  Micasaessucasa copy

Here is my take. I white heat embossed the flower on watercolor paper and then painted on lots of Twinkling H2Os. I also stamped over it with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and the Hero Arts Friends Defintion stamp. Added some strips and such and I was good to go…

    Glad you are enjoying your retreat! I love that you embossed this in white- it looks so beautiful! I never would have thought to use this stamp in this way! All of the shades of blue look amazing AND there you go again with the “twinks” creating a pretty background! HUGS, my friend!

    I would not have thought of doing the sunflowers in white. It is lovely against the blue.

    Jennifer, All these cards have been spectacular, I really loved the one with the stiped background. Dumb questions : Did you paint the H2O’s on each stripe
    and then stamp?

  42. Posted September 26, 2010 at 8:18 pm | Permalink

    yep!
