Happy Sunday my crafty friends…. I’ve been playing a lot this weekend in the haven. I’m entering a few challenges this week. I decided to play along over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog and first time over at The Color Throwdown. The colors on my flowers played right into the colors this week over at Color Throwdown (Dark Pink, Pale Pink, Green, White). This weeks sketch made it so easy for my creation. I knew I wanted to make another card with the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet. I’ve fallen in love with that stamp set.
I stamped and colored the florals in the stamp set with various copic markers on a stitched square Neenah Solar White cardstock.
I found a piece of scrap Neenah cardstock on my desk and took the broad tip of my copic markers and made a few diagonal stripes the same colors as my image and separated the colors with my EK Success journal pen to give the strip a dramatic effect.
I mounted the panel on a 5×5 square base of Neenah Solar White 110 (lb) cardstock. I added a few embellishments with my Nuvo Crystal drops and Clear Wink of Stella to the florals to finish off my card.
