Today a series of five cards... with this beautiful set from Rubberdance; the Doodle Flowers set.
I totally went for the images, and 'forgot' to use the monthly color for September.
ENJOY.. I added some details through the post.
Starting with a colorful watercolored background is always a good start.
I chose to stamp right onto the background, and not fussycut the main images. I used Versafine black and heat embossed it in clear.
Masking the main image and stamp in the background with the leaf images, using a stamping platform. This way I could add some watered down white Fresco acrylic paint to the images, and restamp again after the paint had dried.
For the final touch I added color to the main images with Twinkling H2O watercolors and added some white to the images with a white acrylic marker and a gelpen.
The watercolor splatters,
the Vintage Script and
number (from Butterfly Girl Postoid stamp)
in the background gives it some more depth.
