Hi! this card was made for tonight's VSN Challenge: use a popped up stamped flower on a card.
I decided to used this Dianthus. I haven't used it much, and frankly, I have a habit of coloring flowers very strange colors! Today, though, I went NATURAL/shabby. I stamped the image in Adirondack Espresso and colored it with Memento Markers. Next, I sponged around the flower petals with the Espresso. The edges of the DP and the mat were punched.
Finished Card size: 5" Square
Totatl time to complete: 31.5 minutes

This is a real beauty Faith!! I love your colors and how you colored the pretty dianthus. I also really like that you chose the pink to use as your pearls along with the pretty pink ribbon. Very nice!!
