I made this very bright card to cheer up Carolyn who is battling health problems. We were supposed to add butterflies, but by the time I got all the flowers stamped, there was no where to put a butterfly....it is resting under all those flowers. He must be a very shy butterfly. I tried to get as close as possible to this week's CC569 colors, but a little unauthorized orangish yellow snuck onto my card. For the MIX159 I did include a version of my birth month flower...my birthday is in June and roses are the flower. After my rant about not liking pink with my sample card for today's F4A challenge, I am going to sound like a real "PIA" (that might not be in the list of official abbreviations on the SCS page, so here are the first few words.... "pain in the A#@$%"). Anyway, real roses have never been my favorite flower. Right above the green bow is a type of rose that is acceptible. It is a wild rose. Now that Southern California neighborhoods like mine have ripped out every inch of grass and replaced it with wood chips and drought tolerant plants, there are a lot of wild roses in the common areas of my neighborhood. I think they only need sunshine, air, and positive vibes to grow. The card was made by dropping Adirondack ink on glossy CS and blowing through a straw to spread it around. Then I applied rubbing alcohol with a q-tip to get some patterns. The blue bg was added with copics. After stamping the flowers with Stazon ink, I added dots for shading with a black gel pen. I also drew in the stems and leaves. TFL, Francie
