Not that I am too concerned as I shall be in the sunshine tomorrow (I hope!) - more of that later.....
Had some odd scraps of watercolour paper so decided to use them up - and as they're scraps I am away to the Playground (have my wellies and my sou'wester on....)
The green DI is Mowed Lawn, the blue is Mermaid Lagoon and the yellow Fossilized Amber and I was pretty happy with the resulting smooshing as the stamps with a little bit of fiddling ended up in the right place.
I then painted over odd bits of the images with the same colours to give a bit more definition.
Mounted the panels onto black card.
The card base has a script vellum overlay - another paper pack I have had for ages - I thought it picked up the script background of the stamp (and it saved me stamping and embossing the card base!!!👌).
Stamped the simple sentiment onto the smallest piece of paper ever and shaped it like a tag, punching a small hole in the top, wrapped some white organza ribbon round the vellum and tied the tag onto it.

I shall be absent from visits for a little while - as my first Presidential tour starts tomorrow so sunnier climes for me! (And the 65 others coming too!)
I am hoping that Mr Blogger behaves himself and publishes my scheduled DT post and hope that you will not forget me whilst I am gone (I mean - How could you??????!!!!!!!)

It's a lovely triptych of pretty flowers, and I like the way you've placed the cheery sunflower as the center motif. These are such versatile stamps, and I like the shaded colors. I can just see the script embossing on the white, so that's a nice bit of added texture, along with the score line at the base. Really pretty card, perfect for the wet Playground, & great work with the DI colors. TFS & Hugs
Your smooshed panels turned out perfectly for these pretty flowers, Viv! I love how you added a bit of coloring to emphasize the flowers! Very nice way to use those snippets! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! Happy travels!
This panel card is very pretty Viv and the colours work together beautifully and I love that script vellum which is really elegant over the base card and the ribbon and tag finish it perfectly. x
Beautiful smooshing in great colours. Love the stamps you put on top of the smooshing. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up.
So pretty Viv! Love the way you've smooshed the colours on each panel to line up with the images. Adding more colour really makes the flowers stand out from the background. LOVE that sweet little tag ... it makes me smile! :) Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up. Best of luck on your new duties. Will catch up once you are back with some time to post. xx
Great class and style Viv.x ♥[aNNie]
