Can you believe that it is already the middle of December? Have you had a chance to play along with us over at The Flower Challenge? It is our last challenge of the year and it is to use an older stamp or die.
I choose to use one of my first floral stamps by Concord & 9th.

I love using this set and decided to white heat emboss the image on watercolor paper. I then used my Daniel Smith watercolors to paint the flowers. I love the soft colors for this sympathy card.
I stamped the sentiment in Versafine ink and clear heat embossed it. To add a little interest, I flicked some black water color on the card to finish it off.
I hope you have a chance to play along with us over at The Flower Challenge and I can’t wait to see what you create!
