Coral Pink Dahlias

Hi everyone.  I'm playing along in the STAMPlorations CAS March Challenge.  I HAD to ... these are my favourite colours! :)


I started by heat embossing the Framed Dahlia in white onto hot press watercolour paper.  I used distress inks and a water brush to watercolour, adding Abandoned Coral and Picked Raspberries for the flowers; and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the background.

I cut down the size of my panel and framed it with a small rectangle stitched frame die-cut.  The sentiment is stamped in Twisted Citron (3 times) to get the depth of colour I wanted.

Here's a close-up ...
Fun card to make that is fresh and colourful.  Could use that after all the snow we've had. :)  Come play along.  The challenge is open until the end of the month.






Stamps:  Framed Dahlia, Fond Expressions (STAMPlorations)
Paper:  Hot Press Watercolour paper (Arches 140 lb.); White card base (Neenah 110 lb.)
Ink:  Versamark; Distress Inks:  Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn (Tim Holtz)

    Lovely use of the coral pink - it's really striking next to the lime green. Wonderful watercolouring!

    This is beautifully painted on your white embossed image. I never think to emboss in white so I'm making a mental note to do that. Love that stamp too. I love that you list all your supplies right down to the colors. Also love the framing, one of my favorite dies of all time.
