See the flowers smiling










I just love that sentiment. It is so cute! :) I found it in a Hero Arts clear stamp set I have had for quite some time and have never used. LOL

This color combo is a little bright for me, but I let my Peerless water colors do the talking and after I colored my floral image from Echoes of Kindness, these were the colors that matched. :)


I stamped the flowers on Fabriano watercolor paper in Stazon black and then used my Peerless water colors to color the image. I went a little wild with the blue and lightly color washed the entire background with the exception of a "halo" of white peeking out around the image.


The background layers are stamped with BG stamps and I added some stitching, brads and ribbon to pull it all together.

Stamps: Hero Arts sentiment, SU Echoes of Kindness, polka dot SU, distressed circles CHF
Ink: white craft, black stazon
Paper: white, black, regal rose, green galore, watercolor paper
Accessories: janome sew mini, silver brads, ribbon, watercolor brush, Peerless water colors, Nestabilities, red line dimensionals, palette
