HYCCT10 - Walk on by the flowers

Photo Details

Poster: Understandblue

I love this challenge. I walk every day and I love being outside, hearing the birdies, seeing everyone's dogs, and seeing everyone's different gardening styles. Believe it or not, I get tons of card ideas just from being outside!

So I made the flowers the focus of my card. I was trying out the letterpress plates with various inks to see what I liked, and this is the letterpress plates inked in white craft ink on Crumb Cake for the background.

The flowers are outlined with a Cherry Cobbler Marker and then the shadow is an Apricot Appeal marker.

TFL!
