DOstamperSTARS Challenge #176: Rose Wonder in Blue!

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a "Home Sweet Home" challenge. 

It's obvious from this week's photo inspiration that a person would choose a nautical or masculine card to make.  But instead, I went with blue flowers!  Specifically, the Rose Wonder Bundle, and I'm thrilled with the results.  Take a look…

Wow, right?!  Well, it was super easy to do.  And guess what?  I only used one color to easily "watercolor" the rose…Night of Navy.

Dawn's Rose Wonder In Blue card details:

• Stamp rose image from Rose Wonder stamp set with Night of Navy ink on 4" x 5-1/4" Shimmery White cardstock
• Quickly…Use Aqua Painter to wash color around the rose and leaves. (just the wet Aqua Painter – no added color yet)
• Now add little by little, additional Night of Navy ink to flower center working outwards.  
  • No additional ink was added to the outer edges of the rose and leaves.
  • Also, no purple ink was used.  As more color was added, some of the tones started turning a purple hue.  Unexpected, but gorgeous!

• Let dry.
• Adhere to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Night of Navy card base

• Stamp greeting & frame image with Night of Navy ink. Die cut with matching shape from Rose Garden Thinlits.
• Adhere to Metallic Foil Doily, then to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
• Attach Rhinestones
• Enjoy and send to someone special!

What do you think?  I wonder what other colors would turn a different shade of color when it dries.  Would be interesting to find out?  Give it a try with some other colors and let me know.

Enjoy~Dawn O
