Huge blooms is my favourite set this month and I have used it in a few different ways.

 On this first card I sponged the background using distress inks and a stencil.  The leaves were die cut and sponged. I stamped the largest flower twice and trimmed one so I could layer them.

On this second card I sponged the background with Shaded Lilac distress ink and then stamped the blooms in the same ink.  The yellow blooms were stamped separately and then layered on top.


This last card uses distress inks again - Faded Jeans this time. The image was stamped with Faded Jeans and then watercoloured with a Faded Jeans re-inker.  The sentiment is also stamped in Faded Jeans and a few blue gems randomly added.
