Here's my Muse card for this week! Tracey has given us a clean, fresh, happy inspiration:
I focused on Tracey's:
-floral theme
-rainbow of colours
-layout
Also, my Muse friend, Aileen, has started a new challenge The Flower Challenge. The current challenge is "Anything Goes" and I'm thrilled to link this up there.
You may have noticed that this is not my usual photo backdrop. I am currently in Minnesota with some stamping friends and did not bring my light box. The fireplace and sun off the lake made a lovely alternative!
I used my MISTI to stamp the flowers several times, starting with the lightest colour, then layering smaller areas with deeper colours. Once I finished all the stamping, I lightly misted the watercolour panel to get the ink to move just a little.
I used:
-Altenew Floral Shadows
-Altenew Bamboo Roses
-Distress Inks
I love the angle of the flower panel. Your misted flowers are colorful and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, the watercoloring is perfect! Great backdrop too, I'm kinda partial to fireplaces...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on Tracey's Muse card, Ardyth! I love the watercolored effect on these pretty blooms!
ReplyDeleteOh what pretty flowers Ardyth, this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful watercolour-y flowers! And I agree, not a bad alternate photo background. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful break you are having - stamping with friends!! Bliss. Love your card, and thanks for sharing how you used the MISTI in the making
