Watercolor Pressed Flower Stamping

 

A very very simple card.

The corners of the card base have been rounded.

An EK Success border punch was used for the

flourish border.

Now we are going to get to the fun part.

I used water soluble oil pastels by Portfolio

to color directly on my stamps.

Then the stamps were lightly misted with water.

I would recommend some experimentation on

scrap paper before you stamp on your "good" paper.

Sometimes I stamped on scrap paper, re-misted and 

then stamped on my good paper.

These Hero Arts flower stamps have been stamped 

on an decorative edged oval post-it note,

the oval was then mounted on a plain white card stock oval.

The leaves and baby's breathe images were separate stamps. 

I used the flat portion of a paper egg carton

glued to the back of the layered flower image

to create a 3-d look.
