Summer has indeed been blooming in my part of the world! We've had hot sunny days and what seemed to be even hotter nights!
TIOT's challenge this fortnight is entitled Summer Blooms. As always you can interpret any way you want in any medium as long as it follows the challenge theme.
These are several very old stamps that I own and this was a very quick card to do.
I used my Arteza waterbrush pens coloured the stamps, spritzed with water and stamped onto watercolour card.
Spritzing is one of my fave techniques as it gives such a soft dreamy effect! (My other half would say that describes me........😜
Finished it by matting onto a black background and heat embossing a sentiment in white.
Hope you can pop over to the blog and see what everyone else has served up this month and join us as we celebrate a flowery summer!
Thanks for looking . x

I LOVE this watercolor effect Viv. It not only creates such a great effect, but creates some pretty flowers too. I might have some of these old stamps too, and now I want to pull them out. hugs-Erika
Beautiful card, and love the inspiration from your wild flower field! Have a super week! ((HUGS)) Helen
When I saw this at TioT, I thought the flowers were die cuts. I was amazed to learn they are actually stamps. That IS a very dreamy effect and well done, too.
Your wildflower garden-in-a-card is so pretty Viv. I do love the softness of the images from your technique. Beautiful card! xx
