Hi All!
Just like Wednesday, I’m using a Stampin’ Up! set that is about to retire: Botanical Blooms. This set is actually on sale for 25% off, now through May 31st. Of course, you could use this technique with any flower silhouette stamp you have.
I used Inktense pencils and water on top of my lightly-stamped image. I used a very methodical, repeatable process, so it’s easy to get this look! Here is a close-up of the flowers:
Enjoy the video and have a great weekend. 🙂

Botanical Blooms is one of my favourite stamp sets. Besides this one, I’ve liked all the other cards you’ve made with it too! The little dot effect worked well around the flowers and was just what it needed. This was the same for the black you chose to set off the centre of each flower. These little finishing touches of yours always make such a big difference and set your cards apart from all the rest.

I love this card, Darlene! It’s beautiful with the combination of stamped images, watercolor, and use of dots.

So darn pretty Darlene…you brought those flowers to life! You make it look so simple. I have this set, and will certainly try it. I have used the dots as accents and love how they look on cards. Thanks so much for sharing.

I didn’t buy the stamp set, just the dies but I really love what you did the the images, beautiful coloring and design, I really like the dark dots in the center of the flowers, they give so much depth to the pretty blooms.
Big hugs,
Maria.

Lovely card Darlene. I don’t have this stamp set but I am sure I have other flower stamp sets that will give much the same look. I will give it a go.

I love this Darlene, and you make it look very doable! I think this may be the technique I use for my Mother’s Day card. 🙂

I love this card Darlene. So much in fact I just had to place a Stampin’ Up! order to buy the stamp set (and of course a few necessary extras 😊).

I love this card & the simplicity of it. I just tried to make it as I followed along. Though I was able to get the idea, my Pink Pirouette is SO much lighter than what I saw. Did they change the formula or something? Even my inktense cherry wasn’t as bright. Does it have anything to do with it being on video? Oh well, still love the card. I can’t thank you enough for your videos.They are such a tremendous help & resource.

Nothing has been changed as far as I know. I would guess that it’s your screen – everyone sees colors a little differently depending on the brand and quality of their phone or computer monitor.
