CARD DETAILS
This month kit is all about dainty florals one can wind out in the wild. I decided to use images of the sweet pea and stamped them rather randomly to create a pattern. I stamped my images in black ink onto Distress watercolor cardstock.
I also added some dashed line stamping along the edges of the panel to imitate black stitching. Next, I used my Daniel Smith watercolors and added soft light coloring, I also colored the background light blue.
To create a sentiment I heat embossed “You Are So Sweet” onto black paper and foam mounted it onto the card. Lastly, I added black enamel dots using Nuvo liquid drops.
