Yet
another beautiful day here in Ontario
This
card was made by one of my new stamp sets from Stampin’ Up. Love this set….Flowering
Fields.
Everything
was stamped on water colour paper but I think regular cardstock would work just
as well. I coloured the stamps with both Tombow Markers and plain old Crayola
washable markers….$2.00 for a box at the dollar store! I wanted the centre
flowers to be highlighted so I coloured the leaves to make them solid instead of
open which brings the eye right to them. The little butterflies came with the
set so I stamped three of them (odd numbered items work best) and coloured them
in with Tombow markers. Then various Distress Inks was sponged around the panel
with Distress Mustard Seed right in the middle as if the sun was shining down
in that spot. The sentiment was stamped with Archival Ink on a piece of velum
and although glued down I used two yellow flower brads to make sure it stayed
in place. Glitter ribbon was wrapped around the velum as well.....love my glitter ribbon.
That’s
all for a lovely Friday. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Cheers
Violet
