Flower Spray Birthday Card

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog! Today I have a birthday card to share with you using Flower Spray stamp. This stamp was a Christmas gift so this is my first time using it also to create the Faux Bleach Technique.  Firstly I stamped the images using the Versafine Black ink, I then covered the white card with the oxides using a smoothie sponge. Using the water brush over the flowers to remove the oxide ink and dab with a piece of kitchen towel. This is such an easy way to lay and remove colour.

Materials used:

Flower Spray stamp by Crafters Companion

Distress Oxides, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey
