The flowers are watercoloured onto Smoky Slate cardstock

And this is my entry.

I stamped images from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set onto the top layer of Smoky Slate cardstock using a mix of Smoky Slate and Basic Gray inks.  There was a little bit of masking involved for the three flowers and the the leaves.

I painted the three large flowers and the leaves using Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight inks.  I wanted them to "pop" as much as possible so I kept the contrasts as strong as possible.

I wanted the small blossoms to pretty much disappear into the background, so I painted them very lightly and minimised the contrasts.  Once I'd finished painting, I masked the large flowers and leaves again and then sponged with Smoky Slate ink.

I cut a Daffodil Delight banner and stamped a greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments then sponged the ends with Basic Gray ink.

Thank you for visiting today.

'Til next time
