Floral Delight

Josette here with another Tuesday card.  I have another flower card and used the Parrot_Tulips_ATC.
Stamping and then Embossing before coloring your image can lead to interesting but simple cards.

I used a white pigment ink to stamp the image and greeting.  Then I embossed using a clear embossing powder.
Not apparent in this photo, but by adding clear embossing powder over white ink, the starkness of the white ink was toned down a bit.  This also allows me to "get to work" sooner and not worrying about smearing the ink.  White Pigment Ink can take a long time to dry.  I then colored the image  with color pencils, very minimally.

By doing this on a black card stock, minimal coloring is needed.  A few embellishments and a ribbon is all that is needed finished the look.  This is an A2 card, matted on pink cardstock and then a white card base.  Rhinestones finish off the look with just a little bling.

Double click on image for a closer view of stamping and coloring.
The dusty looking background is due to the static powder I used and did not wipe it down before picture taken.
Thank you for stopping by today.  All supplies are available through Sweet Stamps

Happy Crafting,
Josette
