I'm playing in the cave today with water and Distress Inks, both regular and oxide. I made a similar card on Saturday, but this time I wanted more flowers and more masking so the bouquet was fuller. I used my Misti to stamp several similar ones. I had to go back and add flowers at the top on two of them because my inky fingers smudged the top corner - I hate it when that happens! Oh well, I actually like the two with the flowers in the top right corner anyway!
I stamped and masked and stamped these images from the Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp set and stamped the sentiments from Concord & 9th Map Love stamp set. Then I experimented with different ways to color them with Distress Inks. Lastly, I added little tiny black dots for interest in the background. Which one do you like the best? And why? I can't really decide, but I think my favs are the top left and bottom left......not really sure! Leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best!
