Flower and colors...

Hey all, it's been long since I last posted. Sometimes, you get stuck with things in your life other than the blog world... and I have some guests over. So the moment I got a chance I sneaked into my craft room to make a card inspired by Colors at CAS-ual Friday's #112 and CAS on Sunday #15 - Floral Fantasy. Here's my card... 

To make it I used my usual masking and inking style, I am so much in love with this technique that I just can't stop at one ;) I made a small panel. Hand drew a flower to fit that panel. Made a copy of the same flower that will serve as a mask to ink the panel blue. I then did some inking (using Memento Dew drop Inks) with the challenge colors on panel and flower. Shaded the flower with metallic pencil. Added the anthers using pencil colors and orange Sharpie Marker. Added Glossy accent on the anthers and stuck the panel on card base. I added the sentiment (from My Mind's Eye - the sweetest things) and to finish my card I added pearls (from Darice)

The challenge colors are -


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

    OK, Dee, you are getting too good now that we are going to stop believing that you're actually drawing things yourself. Maybe this was cut from a commercial card? Or some sort of packaging? You always manage to surprise me. I love it! Thanks so much for joining the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
