For the bottom card, I stamped a MFP Sunflower on watercolor paper and also colored with water brush and Distress Oxide inks. I splattered some ink around the image. (Tip I learned from Lisa Tilson: lay the clear stamp back over the image before splashing.) Added some more color beneath the leaves for a more artistic look? Trimmed the image with a die and added a Rust mat and placed on Ivory card base with sentiment by Power Poppy.
Distress Oxide Inks used: Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Lucky Clover.
