| This is Joyce's beautiful card |
I stamped a very old wood block Hydrangea stamp and PTI's Birthday sentiment with Memento Black ink on white watercolor cardstock. Using Spellbinder's Labels Eight die, I cut a section from the center of the stamped area and colored this area with Spectrum Noir markers. I attached the center to foam and attached both stamped sections to the Aqua card base. It's been quite a while since I tried this technique, but really like how this card turned out. Thank you, Joyce for your wonderful inspiration!

ReplyDeleteOH my I have this stamp and wish I would of thought to do the partial coloring which is STUNNING.. vs. coloring the whole thing. I love this idea. Thanks for posting it and cant wait to try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I love how you have done this partial colouring. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. I just love it. I have that hydrangea stamp, and have completely forgotten about it. Love how you stamped it twice, and the colored area looks like it is magnified--the color adds so much life. Thanks so much for CASEing my card and playing along at HLS Case the designer.
