Flower Card

Hello Everyone! I hope you are enjoying today, this is the start of a very busy week this week for me, so if I happen to miss a post, please forgive me.

As you can probably tell I have been tweeking my blog a little, I have added a few other things and namely one which happens to be a photo of myself, I though it was time to reveal me......LOL, although I really don't like photos of myself and I not really keen on this one either, but I can always change it later on.

So today's card I started with kraft card stock, folded in half and stamped over the front of the card with a flower from the Hero Arts, Color Me Flowers Cling stamp set with Papertrey Ink, Vintage Cream Ink, I set this aside to dry. I then took a piece of white card stock and stamped another flower from the same set of stamps twice and also a leaf from the Hero Arts, Big and Small Flowers stamp set onto the card stock and took my Copics and coloured all images in until I was satisfied with the end result (see photo below of Copics used). Once they were coloured in I cut the images out making sure one flower was smaller then the other and placed a My Minds Eye crystal brad through the centre to hold both flowers together, I adhered the leaves to the back of the flower and attatched to the card with some foam dimensionals. Lastly, I added a sentiment from the Hero Arts, Thoughtful Messages stamp set which I stampd with some Colorbox Ink, Muted Moods, Antique Pewter, I also added some rhinestones to finish the card.

Here is the photo of Copics.

I hope you enjoy today's card and it gives you a little inspiration kick.

Have wonderful evening everyone and I will try and catch you all tomorrow.

Have Fun!
