Time to CASE Marika again.....

Hello everyone: It's no news that I absolutely love the talent of Marika Rahtu from Me and Minime Crafting and this week over at the TIME OUT CHALLENGE  we are asked to CASE her amazing card. I've been inspired by her beautiful coloring since I found her blog, she is as sweet as she is talented so, I could't pass this opportunity to once again, try to CASE her, so here is my card, I'm also linking this card to the Freshly Made Sketches challenge by Jen Brum.

And here is her gorgeous card.

The image I used is from an old Flourishes stamp set, I stamped it onto a panel of Canson water color paper and colored it with the aqua painter and this SU markers: More Mustard, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry.  I did some high lights and contours on the petals with Prismacolor pencils #1003 Spanish Orange, #916 Canary Yellow, #995 Mulberry and #938 White.
She did some beautiful sponging creating an hombre effect with that lovely shade of lilac, I did my attempt at this technique with SU Costal Cabana.  I added some gold thread and gold sequences to complete my CASE.

The sentiment is from another Flourishes set called "Humming Along", I love the font. 

Here is a picture of the finished inside, I used another couple of stamps from this same set.

I hope I did justice to Marika's card, I also hope you go check her blog out, you will be absolutely delighted and inspired by her amazing art work and give this challenge a try.

Here is the FMS that also inspired this card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
