Hello, hello: I can't believe it's November already!! where did the year go!!! But I hope it has been a good year for you guys and that you are all geared up for the upcoming Holiday Season.
So, the theme over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE is SPECIAL OCCASION so, we want to see cards celebrating Birthdays, Weddings, Accomplishments, a New Baby, Engagement, etc.
I created a Congratulations card, I hope you like it and then you go to our challenge page and check out my teammates' amazing creations.
This beautiful image is from an old Flourishes stamp set called "Spring Blossoms" illustrated by Marcella Hawley, this set came out in 2013 and now, Marcella has this lovely image on her Power Poppy store in DIGITAL FORM so you too can enjoy it.
I stamped this image on a panel of watercolor paper that I embossed with this pretty embossing folder from Sizzix, with Stazon black ink using my MISTI, I colored it with Sakura Koi watercolors and then, I gave it some shading and highlights with my Prismacolor pencils.
After I was done coloring it, I placed the panel back on my MISTI, inked my stamp with Versafine black ink and clear heat embossed it, sometimes after coloring with Prismacolors the stamped image kind of looses the edges so stamping it again brings back the nice outline.
*******************************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called SHORT STACKS, the flowers on the corner are from the same Flourishes set, colored with Prismacolors.

Oh! There's my card! I have this stamp as a PP digi, but don't remember it as a Flourishes stamp. It's so beautiful! Just last night I was running my fingers over the embossing on both the image and card panel. Very tactile and wonderful to hold in hand. I really love the inside sentiment, too, and the little flowers in the corner. So pretty!
I love this beautiful card, Maria. Those flowers are so pretty framed with that EF. Enjoy your day!
so beautiful Maria, love that floral bouquet you have used and the colours, perfect. As is that amazing embossing folder.
