Today I'm sharing a card I made using one of my favourite PinkFresh Stamps and die, Amazing Things. I just love the beautiful image that has so much movement to it.
I'm sending this card to the folowing challenges:
Ink: Distress Inks: Brushed Corduroy, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple) Tim Holtz
Accessories: Amazing Things matching die (for embossing image), w/c paint brushes, rolled glue dots
I stamped in Brushed Corduroy distress ink (a few times), and heat embossed in clear before watercolouring with more Distress Inks (mowed lawn, rustic wilderness, spiced marmalate, candied apple).
I added a bit of grounding for the flower with more brushed corduroy ink and also one of the sentiments from the same stamp set, popped up for dimension. Before assembling, I used the matching die to emboss an outline around the flower. I love this technique, which just adds a bit more emphasis on the image. :)

I can see why this is one of your favourites, it is just beautiful and even better after it has had the Loll treatment. I hope you are doing OK xx
This is sooo pretty, Loll, and I really need to make a note of your embossing with the die for emphasis. I love that! It's good to see you today. I hope you're feeling better.
So very beautiful, Loll! I'm happy to see your lovely flowers today!

Beautiful card Loll, so clean and fresh.

Hello Loll. Your flowers are simply luminous. I love the ombre colors in your watercolor. The perfect color intensity makes them look as if illuminated by sunlight. I agree that embossing the outlines with a die cut creates a wonderful effect. A wonderful, wonderful card.
I hug you very tightly, my dear Loll.
hugs,

Love this pretty flower, Lolly! The embossing does add extra texture and interest! Happy Valentine's Day, my sweet friend!
Beautiful card Loll. Love the colors you used and how you embossed around the image. Great technique.
I never think to emboss with a die around an image and I love the way it looks around your beautifully watercolored flowers, Loll. So glad to see you back.
Love the way you embossed with the die to get that extra interest to the flower. Beautiful watercolouring on the flower!
Love this image, Loll, and your coloring is perfect, as always! Glad to see you back and enjoying your skills

A really beautiful card, I love the simplicity and the gorgeous colours. Thanks for the inspiration to emboss Distress inks, I haven't done that, and then to add the die to dry emboss, such simple things, but what a beauty your card has become with them. Thank you.
This is so lovely, Loll! I love the halo effect made by using the die to emboss around the image. I really need to remember to try this sometime. Your coloring on this flower is so pretty.
CAS and ever so lovely!
I too can see why this stamp is a favorite of yours Loll, and you've colored it so beautifully! Makes me think Spring and I am so ready for it this year!! I love the idea of embossing around the image too for the added definition...it's so pretty and I too need to remember to do this!! Hope you are doing ok after your big loss...thinking of you often and sending lots of hugs your way still!!

What a clean and simply beautiful card! I love Pinkfresh Studio, you've really shown that set off nicely! Thanks for joining us at Simply Clean & Simple.
So pretty Loll, watercoloring with the Distress inks, lovely little grounding patch and popped up sentiment! I've been neglecting commenting as well - I have two craft shows coming up and I'm madly making multiples of cards for all occasions! At least it's making me use my 'stuff'! Julia xx
Such a beauty, Loll - love your coloring! Glad you're back in the studio!! I have this image as a press plate and just love it!
I'm back with my DT hat on Loll, you know I love this card. Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at We Love Stamping. Good Luck and I hope you will join us in our next challenge.

Such beautifully watercoloured flowers Loll, and such a great idea to embossed die around the them which emphasises them so well, and a lovely matching gold embossed and die cut sentiment too. x
Gorgeous card and your water colouring is fabulous:) Xx
