two of the same

Our next challenge in the group was to use a stamp or die in two different ways.  Many of you may know of the Twofer card challenge blog. They have the same thing with different themes, too bad this times wasn't flowers I could have made these for both.  I went with a new stamp that I had purchased. First I started off trying the no line watercoloring, and it actually turned out this time, I am not sure if it is because I used some Daniel Smith watercoloring paints, or that I am finally getting it, I plan on trying other supplies and seeing if I do as well.

This is a large stamp, I made a 5x7 card with this one. The flowers I stamped using Spun Sugar distress ink and stamped the butterfly using Old Paper distress ink.  The sentiment I used memento dye ink.

The next card I just used a portion of the stamp and only colored one set of the flowers, using colored pencils this time.
