Together We Bloom

When I saw the optional twist for the Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge for August is "Bloom"  I immediately thought of a set of stamps from Studio Katia.

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

I started out by tracing the die I planned to use on a piece of watercolour paper to help me with placement of my stamps.  I then stamped the sentiment and embossed it.  I stamped the flowers and leaves with a waterproof ink.  

I smooshed Distress Oxide Ink on my Craft mat, spritzed the ink with water and pressed my watercolour cardstock into to the ink.  I heat dry the ink on the cardstock and add more in layers.  I heat set the background then watercoloured the flowers and leaves with more Distress Oxide ink.  Once all of the watercolouring was dry I used a stencil brush to add some purple ink around the edges then diecut (die from Studio Katia) the piece.  I adhered the frame from the diecut to the card base then added fun foam for some to dimension to the middle sections.
