So much inspiration, and I only looked through the close-up section. Might get out a couple of my own photos later . I was more inspired to get my camera out, but it's another grey gloomy day here today. Instead I was inspired by THESE tiny white flowers to get out a Penny Black stamp and use a simple colour scheme.
A2 kraft base, embossed at the bottom with a strip from Provocraft's With Love. I went over it with a white gel pen and added gems in the centres of the flowers.
Flying Stars stamped with Versafine Sepia on kraft. I used Couleur d'Art pencils for the foliage and a white gel pen for the blossoms. Woodware sentiment stamped in bottom corner. I wanted to add a pop of colour with an orange butterfly but DH vetoed that and said yes, it did need something in that corner but it had to be soft and muted. So I sponged a little butterfly with green and added a single half pearl. Edges distressed, layered on Bazzill and then on the card.

This is beautiful. I love the effect of the white gel pen on the embossed image, and the little butterfly in the corner looks great the way you have sponged him.

I love this, Sabrina! That white gel pen is beautiful -- I do love the little butterfly in the corner too! I am glad you were inspired to get your camera out for later too!
