Happy Sunday eve……. I’ve been playing like crazy this weekend in the haven. It started on Friday evening I sat down to work on a card for the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card, I started by stamping and coloring several of the flower and leaves from the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet stamp with various copic markers. After coloring I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the flowers and leaves.

I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out  I arranged the flowers and leaves on a square stitched panel and die-cut a rectangle piece of black patterned paper from an old Authentique Collection called Foundation.

I cut a thin strip of SU Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to just make the image pop and wowzer!!! I love this new In-Color form SU it brings out the color in the leaves. I added some Clear Wink of Stella and Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ivory Seashell to the center of the flower for shimmer and a little accent . The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink from the same stamp set. I finished it off by adding a few of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink to add a little interest around the flower.
