My Throwback inspiration is this gorgeous card created by Deepti Malik with one of her stamps from the Blossoms Sprays Series in her dee's ARTST IMPRESSIONS line which includes Blossom Sprays #1, Blossom Sprays #2 and Blossom Sprays #3

Deepti used the Spotlight Technique with Blossom Sprays #3.

Here is how Deepti inspired me:

My TBT Project #1:

I used the same stamp and technique that Deepti used. I stamped the floral image on kraft card stock and white heat embossed it. I repeated that process on white card stock, colored a few pieces of the image with Copics, fussy cut them out, and popped them up with foam tape. I scored around the perimeter and added a sentiment from Dee's Beautiful You Clear Stamp Set.

Project #2:

For this card, I stamped Blossom Sprays #2 with my MISTI on Neenah Solar White 110# card stock leaving the floral stamp in place. I also used my mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment from dee's Beautiful You Stamp Set on 1/4" strips of colored card stack and glued them down. I When the strips were in place, I put the card back in my MISTI, masked above and below the stripes to avoid line up issues, and and stamped the floral image again. I added some flat silver dots to jazz it up a bit. I love the way this turned out. 

Project #3

This is made with Blossom Sprays #1. It is stamped with VersaFine ink on a watercolor panel created with Distress Oxide Inks, then heat embossed with clear EP. The sentiment is from a retired STAMPlorations set called For The Birds. I added some enamel dots and my project was complete.

Ardyth of MASKerade is our Guest Designer for both the challenge and reminder posts. Ardyth's work is amazing, and you are sure to be very inspired when you stroll through her blog.

Here is my take:

The main image is an Impression Obsession wood mounted stamp from deep within my stash - Flower Pitchers. I love this image, and it is wonderful for water coloring. I stamped it twice, colored the top section with Zigs, cut out a heart shape with Stampin' Up's Heart To Heart Punch and popped it up. I added a sentiment using Simon Says Stamp YOU, distressed the edges of the top panel, mounted it on purple card stock and adhered it to the card base.
