The wreath pieces that encircle the Comforting Thoughts greetings are from the Lifetime of Love Dies. I used Blackberry Bliss, Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath, Basic White, and hand-painted Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. I created a wash of color using all the same colors on the Watercolor Paper to die cut all the flowers.
I combined two of the Comforting Thoughts greetings to give the salutation more impact. I stamped both with Blackberry Bliss and offset them to best fill the inside of the wreath.
In a style true to me, I finished this card with Wink of Stella splatters, Iridescent Foil Gems, and colored Linen Thread. I used a Berry Burst Stampin' Blend to create a custom color Linen Thread. It's such and easy way to make the thread match your projects--try it.
For my second card I used the Lifetime of Love stamps to highlight the Comforting Thoughts greetings. What's fun for this card is the background. I stamped and heat embossed the Drizzling Droplets background stamp on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Then I painted a wash of Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, and Blackberry Bliss over all the embossed "droplets." With each color I painted less and less so there would be a variety of color levels.
