It's time again for our Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge! This also fits in w/ a WT challenge to "frame" and the Fan Club theme of "green".
The frames are all one stamp (ANM). I inked the outermost one w/ lemon peel, then inked the pattern stamp (Stampa Rosa) w/ pine ink and pressed the pattern image onto the solid frame. The inner two frames were inked w/ leaf green. After stamping the frame onto white c/s, I cut out the center w/ a nestie rectangle. I added shading on the outside frame w/ the Prismacolor pencils.
I used the center cut out to stamp my flower (Magenta). The flower was colored using markers direct to the rubber. I added a little shading w/ Prismacolor pencils and sponged around the edges. Stickles was added on top.
The background was stamped w/ the stripe pattern (DRS) and soft yellow ink. Then I overstamped it w/ the small flower border (Magenta) again coloring it w/ markers direct to rubber.
The frame was attached on top w/ foam tape and the flower rectangle was inset in the center. Narrow lt green satin ribbon was attached to sheer sage ribbon and I tied it in a bow and attached on top. The sentiment (EC) was cut w/ a nestie tag (resized, tutorial HERE ). The edges were sponged and then it was attached. Everything is on a dk olive panel then attached to a white card.
Thanks so much for looking

Such a gorgeous card - that flower fits the frame perfectly, and the kissed pattern on it is so pretty. Your ribbon is beautiful and so is your layered background! Fabulous!
