I got the idea for this card from Camsmom's CC42 Popped Banana and I varied it a little bit. I did this card also in Plum/Eggplant, but didn't take a photo. I daubed the red ink on the edges, apparently I'm not a good "rock and roller"....therefore mine is not as "popped".

I tried posting this comment a second ago and I don't think it worked. If it did I apologize in advance for posting again. I want to say how pretty this is and ask if this was done with just the sponge daubers and not the "rock and roll" technique at all?

Yes, it was all daubers. I did another card with the rock and roll and it did really pop much better, but I'm notorious for inking myself, the card, the table...insert other nouns here...up. I found it easier to just dab the dauber in ink and then daub around the edges of the flowers, if that makes sense. It's a little more subdued, but that worked for me.
I also used the dauber to do the shading in on my card, but I didn't know how to do it with the sponge at that time. I'm slowly progressing in that arena.
