PINK POSIES

Hi Stampers,
Thanks for stopping by.

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close, today's post will be the last of my series of pink cards.  It features a technique I really enjoy -- Floating Watercolor. I just love how the colors blend and each flower becomes a unique work of art.

To make this card, you will need:
Fabulous Florets stamp set                                                  Always Artichoke ink pad
Basic Black Craft pad                                                         Rose Red, Pretty in Pink ink refills
Naturals Ivory, Rose Red card stock                                   Always Artichoke seam binding
Black embossing powder                                                    Heat tool
1 Pearl                                                                                Snail, 1 dimensional adhesives
small plastic container                                                          Aqua Painter 
Paper Snips

If you would like to learn more about the Floating Watercolor technique, please contact me at teachertrish@gmail.com

BTW I am sure you noticed the splotch of ink in the upper right area of the card.  It was not part of the original design.  Has this ever happened to you?  Rather than throw out the card, we can make our "mistakes" work for us.  I will just mix up some more Rose Red ink with a little water and add more randomly place drops around the outer area of  the card.  Problem solved!

Have a beautiful day.  And keep stamping!
