Welcome Back,
So this week I decided to step out of the comfort zone. I have said, in past blog posts. I am not confident when it comes to watercolour painting. But I have been much more confident, when using Distress Inks as my palette. I love flowers but always steer away from them as I don't think I will be able to make it look nice. But I decided to give it a shot, so I leave you to decide if I managed to pull it off!

Method
Stamp your image in Obsidian Ink.
Using the ink cubes line up your palette colours.
I use the Waffle flower Mat.
I wet the flower with a clean water brush then drop in colour.
I don't have the coordinating die, so I fussy cut the flower out. Then went around it with a black pen.
Next I ran the embossing file through my die cutting machine with 110lb Neenah card stock as this is a thicker weight of card stock o gives a nice deep impression. I attached this to my 6" squared card blank.
