\nMy card uses some lovely, water colored, Gardenia images. Usually gardenias are white, but with amazing stamps, they can be any color you want. I chose the pinky-purple colors. I love this greeting and it can be used for so many occasions..get well, thinking of you, birthday, or just because.<\/em><\/span>

\nA big congrats to Charlene, the newest Featured Stamper FS949! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS<\/a><\/em><\/span> card to case. I liked the cascading flowers so I kept that. But I used different images, dies, colors & turned mine horizontal.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAfter stamping the gardenia blooms twice w\/ waterproof ink, I took out a water color set & a couple of small paintbrushes. Water was floated into the blooms, then the pinks were dropped in at the centers, & a lt blue at the outer edges. I let this dry a minute or two, then added darker pink in the middle & a little blue-violet at the outside edges then added a bit of water in the centers to pull the paint towards it. The leaves were done w\/ a couple of greens. After they dried, I die cut them. The greeting was stamped & only the word “sparkle” was heat embossed w\/ black glittery powder onto a deckle cut white panel. \u00a0I wanted a little sparkle on the flowers, too, so I used a clear Wink of Stella over the blooms, A cornflower blue panel was die cut & added under the greeting panel. One image of the gardenias was popped up & added on top of the greeting, & the other was cut apart & tucked underneath the same panel.
