Barbara has a beautiful gallery to choose from for the FS99 challenge.
I chose Celebrate Summer Botanicals to case.
As you can see, I used a different color palette and changed the bow/embellishments. I also added more dimension by adding clouds in the sky.
I colored the stamps directly with Zig markers, thumping for detail, onto vanilla c/s. Stamped off a few of the flower heads to fill in. Used scallop circle mask for the clouds by sponging bashful blue. Sponged the edges with Artichoke before sewing the image layer onto celery DP. Base is also vanilla. Added mellow moss double stitch ribbon with a QuicKutz slider that I stamped with Hero arts sentiment & sponged, bumping slider up on dimensionals.
I love these long cards, don't know why I don't use them more. Thanks for the inspiration, Barbara.
Thanks for looking
