I colored my stamps with markers (colors listed in Ink below) and then smooshed the image onto the paper to give it a soft look. I'm sorry but I am blanking on who created this technique, but I'm pretty sure it was called smooshing. It's too bd SU is retiring this set, but I'll keep using it anyway.

Wow, this is gorgeous! It is just gorgeous! I love shades of pink and green together. Whatever technique it is, it's is just plain gorgeous! Smooshing is a good thing! Wonderful card.

I love what you did with this set, Charlene! I ordered the Petal Prints not too long ago, and you've inspired me to try it out on a long card. This is a gorgeous card using my favorite color combos too!

this is beautiful! If it's ink, spray and smash technique that is from Markie's Mom (Faith) if it's not, I can't help you. Regardless of how you did it, it is really pretty. I have held out on this stamp set, but think I may have to add it...what a bunch of enablers we are on SCS!
