I'm super busy at work right now, let alone trying to fit in gardening and landscaping, so haven't had much time to craft. :-( At least I am creating prettiness in the great outdoors or I'd be totally pulling my hair out.
This card is inspired by the current House of Cards inspiration picture/blog hop/DT call. That's a lot happening in one place, right?!
I immediately focused on the flowers, the boldness of the numbering and the cork. I stamped the sentiment first then the flowers before applying ultra fine embossing powder. I brushed off any powder that covered the letters before heat setting. I then took my watercolor pencils (any would have worked since I didn't wet them) to add white, yellow, and a couple of shades of green. That bold yellow base and hint of blue in the stitching is also taken from the inspiration photo.
The Details: Penny Black Flower Festival image, PTI sentiment and kraft cardstock, MFT Lemon Drop cardstock, Versafine onyx black ink, Versamark, Stampendous Detail White embossing powder, Derwent color pencils, foam tape
