Wild Flowers and Ferns Silhouette Take 2

Hi all.  I'm afraid that I have not been very productive lately and my mojo has definitely not be much in evidence..lol, but we needed a card to send to hubby's former SIL who we have just found out is unwell and has been in hospital for a while and I decided to use this Crafty Individuals stamp which I also used here, in much the same fashion, but last time I used shades of blue ink blended onto the stamp, and this time I decided to use my Staedler Water Brush Pens straight to stamp, and coloured with two greens, and a pink with a touch of red for the flowers.  


I used the same Torn Edge Die set for the mat placed in my stamp positioner so that I could repeat stamp to get the right depth of colour, and I simply attached it to the 6" square card.  We decided not to put anything on the outside but simply write an appropriate message inside.  I think unfortunately she will need to be in hospital for ongoing treatment which is frustrating I'm sure, and hope that things will improve for her soon.

This is such a pretty stamp and it looks lovely inked in this way and what a good idea to stamp it onto that fancy-edged square. Thanks for sharing this with Allsorts

I love these dainty red flowers and sweet ferns, Pat! The die cut edges add extra interest without taking away from the flowers! I know your SIL will love getting this and it will go a long way to making her days better.
