Garden Bouquet

Hello and Welcome.

You may have read my previous posts that mention I am playing along with the DTGD Challenges over at Splitcoast.  It is a yearly event with wonderful prizes and such fun challenges.

This card was created for one of those challenges.

I began with a heavy white cardstock, laid the Watercolor Stripes Stencil over my paper and rubbed on some Old Paper Distress ink.  Next, I placed another piece of heavy white into my Misti and stamped the Sketched Flowers stamp using some black ink.  I then fussy cut out the whole bouquet, eliminating a few areas I didn't want to cut out.  I stamped the flowers again but this time, I only fussy cut out the center flower.

Before I glued the large bouquet over my stenciled stripes, I stamped the sentiment, then I pop dotted the smaller blossom over the big one, giving it a more 3-D look.  I did add a bit of interest to the flower on top using my Copic markers.

I mounted it all onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for taking a look.
