Bold and Bright!

I've been having some journal fun again with my new Paper Artsy stamps by Darcy Wilkinson - Eclectica EDY10! This page started out as a bit of a mop up which then……oh! you know how one thing leads to another! If you saw my post last Wednesday you will see that I was going to cover some of it with torn paper but decided in the end to use PA Fresco paint -Inky Pool. The latest addition was using some Artemio Flowers and text from Darcy's Eclectica EDY10 and Archival Black ink.
The flowers were stamped onto white card and coloured with a water brush using the two colours I used to stamp them - Adirondak Wild Plum and Stream.
I stamped an extra flower and then 'fussy' cut them all out before intertwining the stems. Since this was such a joy to do I couldn't resist adding the Joy stamp(Lost Coast Designs)

 I had Hel's Sunday Stamper Challenge - "Bright Colours" in my mind when I started but when I saw that Anything but a Card wants us to focus on the "Use 5" I added another flower.
I would also like to link to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where we are invited to 'Be Bold with our Stamping"

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    Beautiful, the flowers do just pop against that wonderful background. Lovely details, the text and touches of red, but the teal is just gorgeous! Ruth x
