Happy Watercolor and Less is More

The challenge this week at less is More is the dreaded One layer Card! However I actually quite like making these! I know - I must be odd!!  The new Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Spring/Summer mini is perfect for one layer cards.  I stamped the paint splotch (is that a word?) in four colours then stamped the flower on top in black. I added some extra depth by colouring with the matching marker pens and added glossy accents to the flowers to finish.

Recipe: 

 Stamp set: Happy Watercolor, Fiels Flowers (sentiment)

Inks:  Pistachio Pudding, So Saffron, Crisp Canteloupe, Calypso Coral, Black Stazon

Misc: Glossy Accents

Muse Challenge #40 and Field Flowers

It's a wet and windy night here in the UK and forecast to get worse! So what can be better than a nice summery flower!  Although I look at the Muse challenge each week I have never entered till now. This week I felt I just had to. The Muse designer is thevery talented Darnell and you can see her card here and read her post here.  A very thought provoking post reflecting on Breast Cancer Awareness month!

 Here is my take of her card.

I decided to go with the pink and green colours and the flower theme, which gave me the perfect opportunity to ink up the Field Flowers stamp ( a NBUS Darnell!) I used Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush (a gorgeous pink as good as it's name) and Always Artichoke inks. Strawberry Slush and Always Artichoke cardstock. The ribbons are the narrow taffeta ribbon in Old Olive (nearest ribbon I had to Always Artichoke) and Regal Rose (now retired).
