Bloomin' With Beauty

When the Spring Mini came out, the first stamp set that made it to my wish list was Bloomin' with Beauty. I just LOVE hydrangeas and knew it would be a lovely set to play with and practise my watercolouring skills on. Having said that, I still haven't yet had a play with the hydrangeas stamp LOL.
I wanted to demonstrate the 'watercolouring with markers & stamp pads' technique at a recent workshop so had a little play and came up with the design you see here. I hope you like it.

Stamp: Blooming with Beauty
Paper: Old Olive, Purely Pomegranate, watercolouring paper, Very Vanilla
Ink: Versamark, Old Olive, Purely Pomegranate
