The Details

This ink blend reminds me of a dusky sky that should be filled with fireflies. I was hoping it would go nicely with the wildflower silhouette stamped in a dark brown and I wasn’t disappointed. I started with a blend of yellow in the middle and then slowly moved out with two tones of a greenish-blue. Once I was happy with my blend, I dropped some water splatters over the top and let it dry.

Once it was dry, I stamped a light layer of the Linen background in the same greenish-blue and then the wildflowers in a dark brown. The scallop rectangle framed it perfectly and finally blended around it and the card base to bring it all together.

Before adding the sentiment and string, I added white pen highlights to the flowers and twinkling fireflies to the sky. Plus a few gold sequins for good measure.
