This was the card I was most proud of for my Artisan
submissions. It has a more artsy look to it and is a lot of fun.
- Stamps: Stippled Blossoms, Friendly Phrases
- Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant,
- Ink: Bashful Blue, Elegant Eggplant, Versamark
- Ink Refills: Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Elegant Eggplant, Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette

I started off by cutting a piece of Bashful Blue card
stock 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and score it at 4-1/4”. Next I cut a piece of Whisper
White card stock 3-3/4” x 5”. I used my Watercolor Stamping Technique with
Bashful Blue, Elegant Eggplant and Pink Pirouette Reinker for the flowers then
Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight reinkers for the leaves.
I adhered this layer onto a 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” piece of
Elegant Eggplant card stock. This panel was adhered onto the card front. I
wrapped a piece of Basic Black 3/8” Taffeta Ribbon around the card front and
tied it into a bow.
For the greeting label I stamped the detailed rose image
onto a scrap of Bashful Blue card stock in Bashful Blue ink. I stamped the
greeting from Friendly Phrases on top of the rose with Elegant Eggplant ink. I
cut out the greeting in the Big Shot with my Apothecary Accents Framelits,
added two medium Rhinestones onto each side of the label, then adhered the
label onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I just really love the artistic splashed look that you get with this technique! It makes the card look more like a painting then just ink and card stock.
