Hello! I have a card to share with you today featuring a pretty new stamp from Pink Ink Stamp Company!
After I got this all put together it reminded me of riding a bike along a boardwalk next to the beach. I thought it was so fun and summery looking!
I stamped the image with waterproof ink onto Master's Touch Watercolor paper. I colored it with my Zig Clean Color markers and a paintbrush and water.
The background is a piece of Aqua Mist card stock splattered with Clorox. I just vaguely remembered doing that years ago when I first started stamping and thought I'd try it again. It made a pretty neat background!
I just love that little basket of flowers! So fresh and springlike!
Thanks so much for stoping by today! The items I've used are listed and linked below.

This is delightful, Kay! I really like that basket of flowers, too. The rainbow of colors really pop against the blue background. Quite lovely. And the bleached background looks really cool, too. Excellent work! Hugs!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really love how you watercolored the flowers...it is so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHi Kay, What's Clorax? (come from Australia) I love how you've coloured all of the elements in this card. It's just beautiful. Must ask how you photograph your cards to get them displayed with such great colour. My photos tend to be grey. Ta. Janelle :)
ReplyDeleteTotally pretty card as always!
ReplyDeleteKay this is just so stunning! I'd never heard of the bleach splatter - does it not eat the paper? LOVELY!

Beautiful!!!! LOVE the simple colors and pop of flowers!
ReplyDeletesweet Kay! Makes me want to get all my bike stamps out! :D Beautiful design!
ReplyDeleteThe flower basket is amazing! And I love the clorox bg! Must give that a try! Lovely card, Kay!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet Kay! The Clorox tip is a fantastic idea, you are so talented with techniques!
ReplyDeleteYou *know* I'm swooning over the bike! Our racing season starts early May, and I am sooooo ready to spend time at the side of the road (or in a car, following a peloton), with my stopwatch and clipboard in hand! Bonus: passed my cycling officials' test, which means a couple of 'higher level' roles for me this year! EEK! I wonder if I can enforce a 'must have a basket of flowers on your bike' rule? Likely not, but wouldn't that be cool...LOVE your card!
