Timelessly Textured Birthday Bloom

I promised myself that I would use Timeless Textures more often than I have.  It's one of those sets that I love but when it's time to ink up, I go a bit blank!  Do you have any stamps like that?

Anyway, following the theory that practice makes perfect (or at least acceptable!) - I used it to make a card for a colleague and friend who has courageously moved to a new home in a new country!

Timeless Textures creates a background for the Birthday Bloom

I thought I'd make life a little easier for myself by also using Birthday Blooms - a set that I'm totally in love with!

It's come out a bit busy but overall, I'm not too unhappy with the result.

I stamped the flowers first with Versamark and heat embossed them with black embossing powder.  Then I masked them and stamped the flourish with bleach.

With the flower still masked, I stamped a couple of the denser textures at the bottom of the card and then removed the mask.

I bleached the flowers and leaves and then watercoloured them with Blushing Bride, Elegant Eggplant and Pear Pizzazz inks.

At the end, I stamped the bravo, ink splashes and wine glass stains (that's how I like to think of them anyway!) and finished off with a light sponging around the edges.

I used gold Wink of Stella for the stamens.

'Til next time.
