Thinking of you...

This card is inspired by the theme at Less is More Week 129 - Hand made Flower, which says "You may use any medium you like... felt, paper, card, acetate, fimo, embossing powder, whatever you can conjure up!" and the colors are inspired by The Play Date Cafe challenge #191 - A few of our Favorite things :) so here's my card.




To make the flowers, I used my ever favorite Vellum. I fuzzy cut the petals of 3 different sizes, colored them with Memento Dew drop dye inks and stuck them together as per the size using a transparent double sided tape. On the card base, I did some masking and inking using sponge daubers. Hand drew the dash lines and the floral stem. Stuck the petals to complete the flower. Added the sentiment (from My Mind's Eye - The sweetest things) and finally added punched out dots from my cream colored foam stickers :)

The challenges are -
2. PDCC #191 

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
