I recently purchased stamps from Impression Obsession and Magenta after seeing gorgeous designs here at Miranda's blog - (I couldn't resist, she should get commission on the sale :)). I already owned some of the stamps but the background stamps are new and I also ordered some cool whimsical flowers from Magenta, I'll play with them soon :)
The background is green and yellow Brushos spritzed with Gold Glimmermist. I also added some rings with a lid using white acrylic paint. I painted the flower and leaves with Tom bow markers and highlighted with Gellyroll pens.
The actual flower stamp has a decorative circle around it (see my blog post here) and is meant to be a Poinsettia, but it works fine for non Christmas as well.
Impression Obsession stamps: Poinsettia Mandala F15008, Damask Floral J2011, Dangle Design J15013, Dangle Border 1 E15020
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,

It's a beautiful background with the black stamps and I find the stamps you've used very beautiful.
My perfect sort of background Shirley, the GM's do add that extra tough of magic. And love your colour choice of course.

This is gorgeously grungy Shirley and I adore the Brusho background and such lovely vibrant colours. The mandala is beautiful and the zentangle feel of the leaves and the background stamping works wonderfully well. x
Very pretty and grungy at the same time! Love the background and your super flower, I imagine the shimmer from the glimmermist looks amazing too! xxxx
These staps are so "you", Shirley....such a lovely card in total!
Greetings, Alie :-)

Oh, magoodness, Shirley! I have missed a few of your posts lately and just finished scrolling through. Dang, girl, I feel like I crawled inside a kaleidoscope! You know your colorful works of art always leave me awe-mazed!! I hope you have a fantastic weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
Am swooning with these brusho colors and the marvelous background you have created. Did you sprinkle on wet, or did you 'paint' with the brush after dipping into the pots? It's a really stunning look. Am loving the IO flower too. Their stamps are great to work with, and I especially love their CAC background stamps. Bought a bunch of those at the show (along with some dies and other stamps). Magenta makes a great stamp too...very crisp images. This is just lovely Shirley. Wish I could bring my brushos and come up to play along with you! TFS & Hugd
Catching up after re-doing my craftroom... I really love the "light"background and the beautiful flower! Hugs, Gerrina
What a fantastic card.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
IO has so many stamps I get overwhelmed, but I am going to check out some of the ones here and on Miranda's blog. Just fabulous creations!
