As promised here is another of those cards that I made using the Stamps By Judith range for when I was up at Stamp Addicts for their Demo Day.I know that I have said before how much I like these stamps. I love flowery stamps anyway but these appeal to me so much because you can make different arrangements so easily. I only used the flower pot stamps this time around to stamp them into but of course you can put them into many other receptacles too such as buckets, jars, vases, watering cans etc... Or of course they can just be stamped coming straight out of the ground.
I think that (grudgingly!!) I must agree with Sarah (from Stamp Addicts) that it did me good not having pink and lilac pencils in the tin of Polycolor pencils that she sent me as it did make me use other colours for a change which made me think about different colour schemes both at the time and since.
The background paper that you see on the left of the card is by Daisy Bucket. I just jazzed it up a bit by stamping a couple of stamps onto it to make it tie in more with the main image.
As already mentioned the image was coloured with Polycolor pencils combined with paper stumps and Zest-It blending solution. Prior to this all the flowers and pots were stamped with Graphite Black Brilliance as I have found that StazOn tends to bleed slightly with both the wax from the crayons and the solution whereas Brilliance doesn't providing it has been heat set.

Stunning card Kay, like you, I tend to reach for the same colours when doing colouring, mainly shades of purple LOL.
I must remember to give other colours a try

These stamps are really effective Kay. I like the way you build up your image. No two people will ever get the same will they.

Hi Christine - I tend to use purple and blue together an awful lot or pink and teal so it did make me try out different colours which on reflection was no bad thing!! I just didn't particularly like it at the time!!
Lisa - as you say no 2 cards will ever come out exactly the same!! If you really tried to copy a particular arrangement you would be able to get it to look similar but never an exact replica! It would drive you mad trying!!
