This card is for the Free-4-All Friday Gel Pen Challenge -Link here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers, and Saturday's Inspiration Challenge!! The ispiration website is Huset - and was absolutely FULL of inspiration (and beautiful home decor items as well!!!) Here's the link to the beautiful Hanna Werning Gift Wrap that inspired today's card: http://www.huset-shop.com/hanna-wern...rap-p-246.html.
A White Gel Pen was used to create the border polka dots and highlight the flower centers. The main image was stamped over SU DSP (Using a stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement) and then colored using pencils.
The papers were sponged in three colors - Pale Plum, Lavender Lace, and Rich Razzleberry. The design on the paper was penciled over to brighten and blend the colors. All three layers are popped.
This is my Mom's Mother's Day card!!
Thanks for the great challenges - and thanks to everyone for looking!!

This is gorgeous, straight into my favourites. Love the image stamped on DP, something I don't do often enough. And I LOVE that stamp. I keep looking on eBay, but as the peony and sentiment don't do anything for me, I need the price to be right too.
Your mother will love this .
