Bloomin' Marvelous

Here's my attempt at CASEing Karen Barber's beautiful card. I'm happy with how this turned out but I do have a confession. I meant to use a Stampin' Up! Only Orange Stampin' Write Marker instead of Tangerine Tango so I wound up using a coat of each color. I'll definitely have to give this technique another try now that I've figured it out (kinda sorta) lol!

Here are some basic steps:

1. Stamp leaves
2. Heat emboss flowers with white embossing powder
3. Color flowers with an Aqua Painter and white craft ink (I did 2 coats) and let dry
4. Color base of each petal with a marker
5. Blend color through each petal leaving the tips white and allow to dry
6. Repeat if color's too light
7. Lightly go over each flower with a paper towel in a circular motion to remove ink from embossing and loose paper
