Zen Bouquet

These cards use some new stamps coming out in the Magenta 2017 Spring Collection, and are being featured on the Magenta blog today.

The Zen Bouquet stamp is my latest design in the Magenta Zentangle inspired doodle art stamps, and the "you are Amazing" stamp is also my design.

I made this stamp because I love to color, but here I have two cards for you showing that you can use them without having to color the individual blossoms.

In both cards, I made the backgrounds with Nuance, and sprayed with water mixed with Perfect Pearls powder. The first one is various blues, with a little Raspberry and green; and on the second one, I used some warm colors and some greens and blues as well.

I made the Nuance backgrounds first, and then once they were dry, I stamped the Zen Bouquet stamp and the sentiments with Versamark ink, and embossed with White Diamond embossing powder.

Both panels were die cut from Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock, with a stitched rectangle die to a size of 4" x 5.25". They were both matted with a piece of Black So Silk cardstock and mounted onto an A2 card base of 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock.
