Wishing You all the Best


Today's card uses the limited stamp set and bundle - Blended Seasons - a beautiful set for using with blend markers or any other kind of colouring medium.  this set is only available till the end of August, or when supplies last, so if you are interested, don't wait too long to purchase it.


The stamps are made of red rubber, so perfect for using with Stamp and Write markers and the Stamparatus.  Just colour the lines as desired, huff on them, then stamp - and repeat.  I tend to colour the stems and leaves first, as you can colour as often as you wish - no need to hurry, as the card is always in the same position - this way you can colour up as much or as little as you like - it is a lovely way to achieve a soft watercolour look.  In fact, I did use my aqua brush a little, to smudge or blend the colour out.

Can you see the lovely white stitched frame behind the flower spray?   That is from the coordinating framelits - I cut 3 and glued them one on top of the other, for depth.  There is no die for these flowers, but they didn't take long to fussy cut out.  The butterfly is a die from my stash - just to balance out the design.  It is very difficult to see, but the front of my card is covered with the large dynamic folder - called Subtle - it has the look of a linen card and I love it.
