I have been playing with some twinkling H2O's and my new Memory Box stamps and created this fun project.
The flowers Gorgeous Mini Bloom B1761, Gorgeous Bloom E1716, were stamped using Ranger Archival ink black. Spritz the H20's with water and use a water brush to color the images using a gold and beautiful orange Twinkling H2Os.
Color to add shading on the flowers (after they have dried) with a coordinating watercolor pencil.
Heat emboss using clear embossing powder. Cut out and fold the edges.
The stems and leaves were torn from book pages and sponged with brown dye ink.
The background was painted using white and blue acrylic paint daubers. The tiny bees and sentiment came from another new Memory Box stamp called Happy Bee-day. They were stamped using Ranger Archival Ink (Black). The bees were colored using watercolor pencil and a little glitter.
The edges of the background were also sponged using the brown dye ink and mounted on the Soiree Truffle paper from Memory Box.
