Visible Image - Love of Nature

For my Visible Image DT assignment I wanted to share this multi-layered floral card using the gorgeous Blooming Fabulous stamp set from the new collection Love of Nature.

It goes so well with Colourful Life from the February release that I couldn't pass up using them together.

I started off by stamping all three flowers several times onto white card.

Then I started watercoloring loosely (sloshing) Distress Inks over the flowers.  I deliberately went outside the lines to keep the colour random and loose but kept the colour similar on each of the smaller flowers.

With the large flowers, I painted some pink and some more orange, then cut away some of the petals on the orange flowers so that I could layer them on top of the pink ones.

I stamped the sentiment onto pink white-core card and scuffed the edges for the white to show.

A plain black card base would have been too stark so I spritzed it with Distress Spritz sprays.

The larger droplets give nice colour, but the spritzing also leaves a lovely fine mist over the card too.  Then it was just a case of putting everything together.

I tucked the smaller flowers under the larger ones, and added the sentiment block in the lower left corner.

You can get the Blooming Fabulous set and the rest of the new release from the Visible Image website.
