I have made a video tutorial for you showing how to achieve these soft and subtle effects using ink and a water brush and fine paintbrush. I love painting and colouring and find it so therapeutic at the end of a busy day to sit quietly and create little art pieces like this card.
I hope you enjoy the video! A full list of supplies is listed below.

Pink Pirouette (skin and poppies)
Crushed Curry and So Saffron (dress)
Wild Wasabi (grasses and stem of flowers)

This versatile stamp set lets you build cakes in any colour combination.
This project uses the 5 In Colours:
Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush, Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder and Delightful Dijon, and you can make matching envelopes with the envelope punch board and envelope paper!
For the tag, you will need the scalloped tag topper punch. Stamp your candles using the "cake" layers. in Cucumber Crush, Real Red and Pool Party. Crushed Curry for the flames and striped piece and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Stamp your greeting in Crumb Cake ink.
For the window card, use the circle thinlits to cut out the circle on the front of a Crushed Curry card base. Layer a piece of Whisper white card stock inside the card, then stamp the cake pieces. The bottom layer of the cake is Designer Series Paper. You can make the stamped flags using the Triple banner punch to flag the ends of the card stock. Stamp the greeting in crumb cake and flag the ends. Tie Whisper White bakers twine around the top and finish with a bow.
I love the way the timeless Textures stamp set gives this box a rustic feel, and you don't have to be too accurate in lining up the stamp each time as it's quite a random look you're after with this effect.
