Mini Stampfest with Lynette

Lynette and I had a little time to stamp last Wednesday, August 29.
We each made two cards. We were inspired by a card I saw online-I think on Pinterest. It was created by Tami Hewlett and she has a blog, Swimming in Stamps but I cannot find the card any longer.

We used watercolor paper to stamp the flowers and leaves from a Stampin' Up! sell-a-bration set called What I Love. My friend Hetty gave that set to me way back in 2017! We used distress broken china ink for the outline flower and tumbled glass for the solid part. For the leaves we used Stampin' Up! wild wasabi ink.  After stamping we used a water brush to try and create some watercolor effects. We did not get as much movement of color as we hoped on this first attempt.

So we each made a second card, stamping more quickly and then using the water brush. Not sure

We used Versafine onyx black ink for the sentiments, fussy cutting the banner edges of the paper. We sponged the layer with broken china ink.
