You've Got This Flower

This is a lovely card combining neutral colors and soft background images with a bolder color flower.  The background and flower images come from the You've Got This stamp set and the soft splashes of Delightful Dijon ink were done with Gorgeous Grunge.  The flower was stamped on Watercolor Paper and I used a Watermelon Wonder Stampin' Write Marker to color the edges of the petals and a Blender Pen dipped into the Watermelon Wonder ink pad to create the softer colors.  I used a Cucumber Crush Stampin' Write Marker for the darker accents on the leaves and a Blender Pen dipped in the Mint Macaron ink pad for the lighter parts.  Sahara Sand ink outlined the image lightly with a Blender Pen to create depth.  I love working with Blender Pens; you can create such beautiful soft color with them.

The die cut image is from the retired Labels Collection Framelits and is popped up on Dimensionals.  The soft background is also from the You've Got This stamp set and the lovely ribbon is Sahara Sand Lace Trim.  My card base was Tip Top Taupe but it blended beautifully with the Sahara Sand Lace Trim.

I got my inspiration for this card from Leena Girsa at A La Cards.  Leena often inspires me to think outside the box!  I hope you like my creation.  Please leave me a comment below.
