Wildflowers

** The Lil' Inkers Design Team is wishing Laura a very happy birthday today
with a blog hop! Please click here or scroll down for my post!**


"A flower doesn't wish to be a different color, or want for more petals;
it just reaches towards the sunshine and blooms."


These flowers from Sketched Blooms were a natural choice for MFT's Camp Create Remarkable Resist Session.
I stamped in white pigment ink a variety of blooms and stems, heat embossed in white and then inked over (resist technique) with sunrise/sunset colors. I flicked some white paint splatters and colored in some petals of the small flowers and stems with black markers. I finished the card with a black sentiment panel that had been heat embossed with a mix of sentiments from Birthday Bears and Magical Unicorns.



I also used Sketched Blooms to earn my badge for the MFT Camp Create's Stunning Shadow Stamping. I stamped the solid blooms and stems with white pigment ink, overstamped them with a deep blush ink, and then with a burnt umber ink stamped the detail flowers.


I couldn't resist and added some white splatters to this card too! I finished the card by rounding a corner and stamping a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

  6. Ever so pretty! Really love the ink work on that first number, and the pop of black in your sentiment strip is so striking!
