Lindsay's Stamp Stuff: Bloom!

I am so excited to say that I have been offerred (and accepted) a full-time position on Lindsay's design team! You will be seeing projects from me every Thursday using her digital stamps.

Today's card features my favorite image from Doodle Flowers.


I was playing with my Perfect Pearls by Ranger Industries again. This time I just mixed a little of each color with water and used it like paint. If you use this technique, I highly recommend embossing the image first, like I did here. It keeps the paint "in the lines".  I am really pleased with how this turned out. The colors just shimmer and pop against the black cardstock!

TIP:
To emboss a digi image, you can pour embossing powder on the image as soon as it prints if your ink is wet enough.
 In this case I had printed the image several days ago,
so I went over the lines with my VersaMark pen and then embossed.

Here are some additional views:
