The current challenge theme over at Impression Obsession is "What's Your Hobby". One of my hobbies is flower gardening which I chose for this card. Of course stamping, painting & cutting were required and they are another hobby as well.
Impression Obsession stamps: CC014 CAC Fluff, H2330 Fiesta Flower & C3671 Earth Laughs
Die: CL CS 02 Crealies (flourishes)
The blue background is a piece of 6x6 Basic Grey paper (blue) that had a bit of colour. I stamped CAC Fluff with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and also blended a little around the edges along with Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink.
I embossed the Fiesta Flower 2x on green paper and 2x on orange paper with brown powder. I added colour & shine with my Micacolor paints. I layered as shown, highlighted the doodles and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen and added accent to the leaves with a Distress Marker.
You can see the layers in the photo below:
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!

This is beautiful Shirley, the flowers are stunning, and I love the CAC stamp that you've used. I really like the colours you've used and the shine from the mica paints. Certaintly makes you think of warm sunny days.

I absolutely love images like this & your colours are just vibrant & softly muted all at the same time - not quite sure how that's possilbe but it's the impression I have. I particularly like the way your die-cut swirls echo the stamped background swirls & how the "Fluff" pattern is picked up in the spots of the orange paper. Your white accenting also echoes the swirls & dots so this is a real feast for my eyes. Isn't that sentiment just wonderful?

PS - have a super weekend. It's very very cold here but the daffodils are bravely poking their leaves out & the odd snowdrop is lifting her head through the soil.
Love how you have done the flowers Shirley its absolutely gorgeous huggles hun Sue J xxx

What I beautiful card you have make, Janny
OMG, Shirley! What a magnificent floral piece! LOVE how you have an array of leaves with similar colors, but each unique - and the swirls coming off of them. The medallion flower is beautifully layered - lots of fussy cutting there - and lovely rich colors. That background image is perfect for the sentiment - like the swirling is the laughter, and the flower is in the middle of it all - so gorgeous, Shirley. hugs, de
Boah, Shirley...
