The Flower Challenge is new to me, and so is the current challenge: spotlight stamping where you selectively color just part of an image. I needed an encouragement card, and thought this would be a good time to try it out.
I chose one of my favorite stamp sets from the Simon Says Card Kits. "Floral Bliss" from the June 2017 kit has such a gorgeous floral bouquet. I stamped it with India Ink Black on Tim Holtz watercolor paper and got out my Inktense watercolor pencils.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's "It's the Thought." I chose to color the three main flowers and the two sprays above in pinks with orange accents. I thought a bit more orange was in order so I color just the centers of the daisies. The final touch was to add three black pearls by Amuse.
I'm quite sure I wouldn't have give this technique any thought without the challenge, but I'm quite happy with it in the end. Check out how others approached the challenge right here.
