This week our Queen is Holly aka Hollerinastamps. If you haven't had a chance to see her work it is well worth your time to cruise her gallery...really wonderful stuff! I chose to CASE this card: WT340 ~Chalkboard Bouquet~ by hollerinastamps at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the same layout, Nestie and colors, but changed up the image and embellies.
I just love this aster image from Flourishes Year in Flowers III - we have massive amounts along the roadsides here. October brings seemingly plane Jane weeds into stalks of blossoms everywhere. I used the lighter wildflower color as my color inspiration with my Copic choices. Sponged lightly with Dried Marigold. Matted with plum from Serendipity, made the frame from Fleur de Lis squares and matted with BG Euphoria. Used stamp positioner to line up the Autumn Flourishes images on each of the layers, stamped in Versamark then gold embossed and assembled. Tied the double layer bow and added a Euphoria brad. Mounted on a Flouishes white card, added the pearls and done. PT - 1
Holly, enjoy your week as Queen. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.
