SOUTHERN BOUQUET

This is one of my favorite florals by Amuse Studio called Southern Bouquet. 💐

 I stamped the image on 110# Neenah Solar White card stock with Onyx Versafine ink and then embossed with it with clear powder.  I did the coloring with Amuse Studio inks and a water brush.  I dabbed some ink on an acrylic block and then added a drop of water.  When I was coloring the water brush was dry other than the drop of water that I added to the acyrlic block.  I didn't want to over saturate the paper since I wasn't using watercolor paper.  The background is the Taylored Expressions Pierced Circles Cutting Plate.  I was kind of proud of myself for thinking outside the box for the sentiment strip.  This is actually a handle die for a basket, I had to trim it down but I like the look!  I die cut the bouquet out and then also die cut 3 more pieces out of the white card stock.  I glued all the dies together & it gives the bouquet dimension.  Sometimes I think it works better than using foam dimensionals.
