i have another card to share using the taylored expressions stamp of the month for january - kiss me. after having made a bunch of love/valentine's themed cards recently i decided to use this set in a more everyday/any occasion sort of way.
when stamping the flowers i used the brush tip of distress markers to 'color' on the stamp - then gave the stamp a light spritz of water before stamping. for a more watercolored look just spritz on a bit more water before stamping. to finish off the flowers i drew stems with the fine tip of a distress marker.
