Floral thank you

Good Morning everyone

A craft friend recently had a craft room destash and very generously sent me several sets of paperartsy stamps, it really was a very happy day when i opened that parcel - hours of fun to be had.  I used one of the sets to make her a thank you card. 

White DL (4x8") base card  I first stamped and watercoloured the flowers & butterfly with distress inks and cut out.  I took a piece of pre-inked blue cardstock and worked on top with stencils and a mix of distress inks & oxide inks.  I stamped the little circle stamp from the stamp set in the pink ink i used to colour the flowers and i stamped from the set another stamp that could be flower buds with grey ink, all just to add interest to the background and give the effect of a garden.  I then die cut it into a panel.

I worked out where i wanted the flower heads and stamped the stems into place with black ink, i then added the flower heads with pinflair glue gel.  From the left over pieces of the background i die cut the sentiment and layered with white and added with foam tape to finish.

Just a close up.  I actually made a mistake cutting out the orange flower at the back and chopped 2 petals off but by strategically hiding it no-one would know😀   The flowers are coloured with ripe persimmon, picked raspberry, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, rustic wilderness distress inks.
