The theme at Less is More is Out of Focus … so I did some Watercolor Stamping with Penny Black for their Anything Goes Challenge.
I inked the Penny Black Exquisite Envelope stamps with Distress Oxide Inks (Seedless Preserves & Mowed Lawn) and sprayed with water before stamping and die cutting.
I took my inspiration from Simon Says Stamp Spring Moodboard … those blooms reminded me of the lovely purple crocus.
Sentiment is a sticker attached with foam for dimension … and I embossed the white card base for a bit of texture, using the Tuesday Morning Sketch.
I love how there is a die for the envelope to tuck in the bouquet.
I'm also linking-up at the Flora or Fauna Challenge at Paper Anthology's Creation Staycation.






SO cool! an “exquisite envelope” for sure! ♥
Very elegant card, love the envelope full of flowers
Your embossed background is lovely and the envelope full of flowers is very pretty. So glad you joined us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Oh this card is quite lovely! The flowers tucked inside the envelope is so pretty. Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Your watercolour stamping is fabulous. I love those crocus’s

Such a pretty card Stef and your technique is fabulous. The embossing in the background may be a little busy for our tastes at Less is More because we do love our untextured and unstamped space, but overall the card is so very elegant. Thanks for letting us see this at Less is More xx
Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us at Less is More.
Gorgeous card such wonderful colours and love the little envelope full of tiny blooms.
