Bliss with gorgeous Floral Stamps

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

Chocolate Baroque also announced four new gorgeous Floral clear stamps which are on special for the month of December.   I love flowers and thoroughly enjoy working with these. I used the new beautiful Snake's Head Fritillary on this card:

   
The background was created with Vibrant Turquoise and Cut Grass Dylusions spray inks.   I added a little sea salt while the inks were still wet.   I stamped branches from Spring Foliage with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and the rest of the stamping was done with Cobalt Blue Archival ink.   The foliage at the top is also from Spring Foliage and the bottom edge is from Floral Edges.   I highlighted the Fritillary and branches at the top with Prisma Pencils.   Bliss is from Artistic Affirmations, another word stamp set that I use frequently.  I also added glitter on the top branch and on the leaves of the Fritillary.

Here is a look at all four new beautiful clear floral stamps available individually or as a multi-buy.  These stamps are on special for the month of December.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend,
Shirley

This card just makes me think of Spring and the lovely bluey green just adds to the feel. These stamps are all lovely and so detailed and I particularly like the way you have framed the Fritillary with the Catkins and Floral Edges stamps, with just the hint of Pussy Willow in the background. The sheer ribbon is the perfect finishing touch. Beautiful!

Wonderful card, love the background.

I love the way you have integrated the image panel with the background by using the same colour palette base. Your use of the hanging branches & the growing stems grounds & adds perspective to the whole composition beautifully.

Shirley said...

The Snakes Head Fritillery is one of my fave little flowers Shirley. Love the purply hued ones. How delicate and droopy it always looks. Definitely comes a close second to my love of roses.

You have made a super piece with this stamp.

Warm crafty hugs from Shirl x x

Back over to enjoy some lovely cards this afternoon. First I enjoyed your icy-brrr header. Gosh, I'm glad we just have gray skies, not all that snow...beautiful as it is on your header. Loved this card, your dylusions colors blended so beautifully. I've been enjoying your cards as Ryn has posted on FB. This is just beautiful...as always. Off to see some of the earlier posts that I missed. TFS & Hugs

Even when I'm sick and shouldn't look at the computer screen, I can never resist a quick peek to see what you've been up to. I can't always comment, because the screen makes me queasy (like it is now :( ),but everything you do makes me feel a bit better. All your art contains an element of joy, and I'm so glad I get to see it!
