Hey there, I am excited to guest design for this week's Inspired By All The Little Things Challenge #59. A big thank you to my friend Leigh Penner for inviting me!
Here is the inspiration photo:
As soon as I saw the inspiration photo, I knew I wanted to use my Hello Lovely stamp set by Concord & 9th. Is it not absolutely perfect for this inspiration photo?
I was inspired by the pink and yellow flowers, as well as by the top and bottom arrangements in the photo.
I stamped, heat embossed in white, and colored with new-to-me Daniel Smith watercolor paints. Everything is custom mixed from the individual paints I own. (That's usually the way I watercolor, rather than straight out of the pans.)
Not wanting to cover up those gorgeous florals, I went with a simple sentiment white embossed on vellum, along with a tiny tag with a heart cut-out and some white linen thread.

Thanks so much for visiting today. I hope you have an absolutely wonderful weekend!
So glad you are joining us as guest this week! Your card is gorgeous. I have admired your work for a long time. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAmy, this is so gorgeous. The sentiment stamped on vellum works perfectly to let the watercolor shine and take centre stage! Thanks for joining us this week at Inspired By.
