Wonderful challenges today! I've had this finished but it somehow never made it here and it fits both challenges. This is going to my Aunt Mary, to thank her for the lovely Christmas gift and to wish her a happy birthday.
I started by using a brayer & large rainbow ink pad to cover a large piece of white card stock. After stamping the bg image, I added more color to the insides of the flowers w/ Copics, highlights in-between the bands w/ a white gel pen & I used a white Prismacolor pencil inside the petals of the flowers. I then added black enamel dots all over the design. The two border/frame images were stamped, colored w/ Copcs & die cut w/ the matching dies. The greeting was die cut w/ a small petite oval & I cut along the edges of the design to insert it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Ink: Versafine onyx, Big & Juicy sunset rainbow ink pad
Accessories: ODBD Ornate Borders & Flowers dies, Spellbinders small petite oval dies, Copic markers, Ranger enamel accents in black. white gel pen, white Prismacolor pencil
Techniques: brayered background, Prismacolor pencils, color with Copics, die cuts

Absolutely fabulous card. The brayered background with the pattern stamped over it is so pretty. Your colors are beautiful. The white gel pen really adds to the beauty of the card. Just beautiful.
