Greetings friends. The theme this time combines two wonderful things...friends and flowers. I'm not going to lie, I have had a really rough start to the year, and I am eternally grateful to my friends and all of the support I have received. It is not a bad idea to make some cards for them to let them know. Of course, it doesn't hurt to use my favorite flower....the peony.
For today's card, I did one of my favorite techniques which is to stamp on kraft cardstock with black ink, coloring the image with colored pencils (which show up beautifully on kraft) and then restamping the image with black ink to put the lines back in.
Here are the two steps:
Here you can see my peony in the MISTI stamp positioner. I had stamped it in black and then colored it with the pencils. Notice how light the lines got after I had colored everything. It is really nice not having to worry about the lines though!
Because I had used a stamp positioner, I could then put the paper back in my MISTI and stamp the lines back on the my flower.
To finish the card, I edged it with Tea Dye Distress Oxide ink and added my sentiment.

Beautiful and what a great tip - to stamp, color and then stamp again. It turned out amazingly
So very lovely, Laura! I love that technique also.
Delicate looking card!
