Birthday



I love that Mondo Hydrangea stamp from Essential's by Ellen.  It makes for a beautiful centerpiece and fabulous patterns for a background.  I stamped on watercolor paper with versafine, colored with Zig Clean Color in peach pink. Some blooms were full color, some no color just left over water and some in between.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Absolutely love how you created a full background out of this stamp and then popped up the focal image! Gorgeous!

Absolutely stunning, Cat! You're making me think I have to get that stamp! Wish I had that color of Zig marker, so may have to buy it, too! You're quite the enabler, my friend! Be sure you link this up to SSS Wed before the deadline!
