Holy Hannah, Jane's sketch had me on the ropes and pushed my thinking a lot! I went through my stamps, but couldn't find anything that worked. In the end, the card turned out, but it's not at all what I had in mind when I started! When I uploaded it to the CAS Colours & Sketches blog, my design looked super-similar to Jane's card! Crazy!I used flower dies from MFT and made the centers with distress inks on watercolor paper. After playing with ink placement, I sprayed it lightly with water and die cut it. The variation added some fun interest to the flowers. The background embossing folder is a larger one from Cuttlebug. A simple color palette makes the white flowers and centers pop!
Hope to see you card in the gallery this week on the CAS Colours and Sketches Blog!
