The photo looks a lot different than the card in person, but this was my try at the very cool "Black Magic" technique.
Since I do not have Prisma Color Pencils or the OMS medium, I had to improvise! Being the mother of 3 young boys, there are 2 things we ALWAYS have on hand: colored pencils and Goo Gone! So I borrowed the boys pencils, and broke out the smelly Goo Gone for this one
The dots on all the flowers were done with Crystal Effects, then painted with Lumiere after they dried.
The pink ribbon is Rose Grosgrain dyed with Pink Passion ink.
The words at the bottom I embossed first with White, but they looked so small and lonely that I went back and stamped it repeatedly in VersaMark, then embossed the rest with Clear.
I promise, in person, the petals on the flower petals are purple, edged with a hot pink that really matches Pink Passion. Looking at the photo, I feel like I must seem colorblind! LOL

Very pretty. This is a great floral image for the technique. I also like the ribbon treatment and the bling!

Despite the lack of photographic cooperation (which I understand all too well), your card is spectacular! I admire your ingenuity in both the design and your borrowing your boy's colored pencils to get 'er done! tfs
