The two-color base layer is kind of different, you might be thinking. I certainly don’t think I’ve ever done it before. So why did I do it this time? I was creating this card while hanging out with my VIPs on our monthly Zoom get-together, and asked for their opinion on whether Magenta Madness or Bumblebee looked better under the ombre Night of Navy of the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (retiring soon, and available with a 20% discount). Their answer? Both. So I decided to give it a try!

I stamped the images from the Hand-Drawn Blooms stamp set on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper with Saddle Brown StazOn ink, then watercolored with ink and a Water Painter. The sentiment is from the Massive Thanks stamp set, which is retiring soon!

I added a few 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to finish the card. These are also retiring soon!
