Morning Glories Two Ways

Esther (from Shoregirl's Creations) here today sharing two cards using the Sympathy Morning Glories stamp set.

 

This first card is a one layer card with the morning glories stamp around the edges of a watercolor panel in  Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then used a dabbing method to watercolor the flowers and leaves. (I dabbed on two colors of watercolor paint and used a wet paint brush to spread the color around.) After my paints were dry I added some text using the Typewriter Text Background  stamp and black soot distress ink. I then splattered the piece with white acrylic paint. The final step was adding a sentiment from the Timeless Hymns stamp set and a few black jewels. 

My second card is a clean-and simple card with lots of fussy cutting and paper piecing. 

To color my image I created two ink smooshed backgrounds (on mix media paper) using dusty concord and worn lipstick distress ink for the first and shabby shutters and rustic wilderness for the second. I stamped the morning glories on the first one and the leaves and stems on the second. Next I fussy cut all the flowers and leaves, and stamped a third image stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink on white card stock. I glued the leaves down first and popped up the flowers with foam mounting tape. I fussy cut around this third image and added a bow using purple burlap string.

The black background was embossed with Swirl Motif 3D embossing folder from Altenew, and I stamped the sentiment in Yeti ink from Lawn Fawn.
