Beautiful Florets

               It's been so long since I posted last. Sometimes life gets in the way, nothing bad at all. :)

Today’s crafty post is a Friend Card to have it handy for any occasion needed. I use the stamp set Fabulous Florets, the flowers were paint using re-inkers.   

 How to do that?

Stamp your image on Glossy White CS using the Versamark and Black Embossing Powder. Heat set with the heat tool and let cool. Spritz water on each of the flowers and before dry use an Aqua Painter and ink color of your choice in the puddles of water sitting inside the embossed areas of the image. Let it dry to use it.

The background; stamp image from the Stamp Set Bliss I use Soft Suede and Pretty in Pink inks.  A sentiment and some Pearls finished the card.
