Just add Ink challenge #305

Now that Sale-a-bration is over (insert sad face), I plan to focus on 2015-2016 Hostess stamp sets for a little bit as some haven't seen much ink.  I found the following sketch challenge at Just Add Ink to play along with:

I am always in need of sympathy cards, so it was quite easy for me to go with the Hostess stamp set called: Best Thoughts (page 180 of the annual catalog).  This is such a soft and elegant stamp set. Perfect for water coloring and perfect for making sympathy cards.

I stamped the flower 3 times (masked the middle one) in Basic Black ink and then water colored it using Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo ink refills.  I love, love the It's My Party Enamel Dots. I am hoping to see more enamel dots in the new catalog. :) And as you can see, I'm still enjoying my new Curvy Corner punch!
