Hello and Happy Summer!
I took a hiatus and went to Florida for a month to take care of my father after he spent 3 months in rehab. I was itching to get back to crafting and it was one of the first things I did when I got home.
I did need a little inspiration to get me going so I used the colors in the Inkspirational mood board challenge.
I pulled out my Jane's Doodles floral stamp set and colored the flowers with Copics.
The flowers were fussy cut out. I used a watercolored background which had been clear embossed with a retired background stamp from IO Stamps. Then I used my favorites, Ken Oliver Colorburst Powders to paint the background.
I used a piece of this background on the card base and popped up the flowers on some scrap cardstock and adhered them to the panel. The sentiment is from Stamp Simply, from the Encouragement Stamp Set.
I am trying to use some of the product that has been in my craft room for years so I added some pearls and enamel dots to the card and called it done.
I am also linking up to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Emboss It and Word Art Wednesday.
Thanks for stopping by!
Lee Ann
