A big CONGRATS to Vicki! What a wonderful gallery she has! I chose her Thanks card to case. I kept the layout and flower theme, but I used different images, different colors and a different embossing folder.
I already had a water colored bg using reinkers, & I liked the colors, so I stamped the poppy image on top. I really wanted a white bg like Vicki's so I fussy cut the poppies & placed them on a very lightly sponged die cut oval. A bow & die cut tag w/ the sentiment were added. I used a strip of dp & for the very narrow orangey strip, I just ran an apricot Copic marker down a piece of white c/s to get the color. The white bg was embossed and then everything was attached to my 4.25 x 5.50 white card. I added a bow (it was white and I colored it w/ Copics) and a few black pearls to finish it.
Congrats again, Vicki, and enjoy your week! Happy Memorial Day everyone! Closeups and details are on my blog: The Write Stuff
