The Sweetest Flower

Published by trudee at 11:59 pm under Card Designs, Copic, Lockhart Stamp Co, Spellbinders

Last week I created a card using the Karen Lockhart chintz butterfly. After I created that card, I made this one, using the flowers in chintz image. This was one of the images I colored when I was at the cabin in GA.

As with the other images I colored with my Copics while I was away, I colored it “freestyle”, using nothing but nature as my inspiration. As I looked through my stash for things to coordinate with it, I came across this Memory Box homespun patterned cardstock. I thought it worked nicely with the blues and yellows in the image.

I added a strip of the striped cardstock to the blue print, then cut and embossed it with my narrow rectangle Nestability die. I added the PaperTrey sentiment, some silver brads, and some of this *divine* May Arts ribbon.

I chose Prism’s sunflowers medium for the cardbase, stamped with CHF’s petite pattern backgrounder in Adirondack butterscotch ink. For some added detail, I added Stickles to the flowers, and covered the pitcher in Ranger glossy accents. I used the following Copic markers: B21, B23, Y21, Y17, Y38, YG03, YG17, V12, V15, RV34, RV17, E77, W3.

Thanks for stopping by! Any plans for this weekend? Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day, and I’ll be spending it with some friends doing something crafty! If mine comes out OK I’ll share it with you! Bye for now!!! bye
