Colourful florals

Good Morning everyone

Today is a couple of cards using paperartsy stamps i was gifted, more DL cards im afraid.  Ive used the same stamps on all of them but gone with very different colour combos.  

White DL card (8x4")  I first stamped and watercoloured the images with wink of stella pens so they really shimmer in the light which sadly the photos don't pick up.  I then dug through my background pile to find some that contrast - this first one was with oxide inks, I then stencilled over the top with various floral and foliage stencils with distress inks and oxide inks to give some depth in the background and feeling you are in the garden.  I die cut it with a fancy DL die and then stamped some of the smaller stamps from the set in grey.

I added my flowers with glue gel and doodled in some stems for them.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card, matted onto orange and then white die cut with the fancy dies i used for the main image.  I added this panel with foam tape and attached the butterflies.

Version 2, flowers again coloured with wink of stella pens, the background was using brushos, again i then stencilled and stamped over the top. I added stickles 'frosted lace' to the circular foliage stamp I used in the background as it gives a fluffy white finish.

I stamped some words from another paperartsy set i was gifted, which reads 'have a bloomin' marvellous day', I cut them out, mounted onto yellow card and added glossy accents over the words.

Version 3. This time i started with a white background and stenciled on foliage to build up a garden scene, then stamping one of the foliage stamps with green ink. I used a sunray stencil with amber oxide ink.  I matted my DL die cut onto white card inked with the stamp purple wink of stella pens i used to colour the flower so this card is full sparklicious! I stamped the flower stems in place with black ink and then added the flower heads & butterflies with glue gel.  

Stamped sentiment mounted on foam tape and yellow enamel dots added to finish. 

I was trying to capture some of the sparkle but sadly photos just don't pick it up
