After 5 attempts I think I am finally able to share what I have done with Painted Petals set from SU. I love what I've been seeing on blogs with this stamp. It gives a soft watercolor look.
I tried stamping stems first, then the flowers wouldn't come out right. Then I tried flowers and added stems later but they didn't always fit. Then I would have one with ink smears. Usine a combo of the two techniques, I finally came up with one to keep. I used Melon Mambo and Certainly Celery inks. It seemed to need a little something to fill the white space at the top so I added a butterfly using the SU punch. Pink gemstones make up the butterfly body and center of 2 of the flowers. The banner strips are from my scrap bin.
