Anyhoo, I made this card for some friends of ours in Canada. Don't really know what's happening up there (I barely know what's happening here) but I wanted to send some sun-shiney cardness.
This image is from From the Heart Stamps and mandatory for their current challenge. Isn't just stunning? I used my Copic markers to color my image and wouldn't you know that one of them was completely dried out? So I had my darkest pink and my lightest and tried to get each of the different flowers to look like a different shade but I'm not sure I succeeded. Oh well, I like it anyway. :)
I used Stampin' Up's Gable Green and Pixie Pink card stock and matted my pieces with black. I used a harlequin Cuttlebug embossing folder on my green panel. I added some rhinestones from Terri instead of a bigger shape as the sketch suggested, so I hope that's okay.
Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
