Yummy pink, black, grey, and white. I love this mix of colors. I immediately thought of Valentines Day. :)
I even pulled out my heart punches and started a mix of hearts. But then I got distracted by this beautiful new stamp from Stampendous called Ranunculus Field and started of stamping that and playing with my watercolors.
The flowers are stamped using Versafine Black Onyx and colored using my watercolor pencils and waterbrush. I accented them with Crystal Stickles from Ranger.
The edges are sponged using Memento Rosebud. The background is a lovely stamp from Verses which has the entire How do I love Thee poem from Elizabeth Barrett Browning which I stamped using the Versafine Smokey Grey.
The scroll work is the Fleur De Lis Pendants from Spellbinders. The grey cardstock is embossed using a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Victoria.
