This was a wonderful and easy to work with sketch. I didn't do a lot of fancy stuff on this one and the main image was a little bit of an accident.
Y'all remember when shadow stamps were all the rage? Mine have been real lonely so I decided to take one out of the drawer. First I stamped the 3 flowers and masked them. Then I inked the large ragged edge shadow stamp w/ the aqua ink and stamped over them. When I looked on the shadow stamp, I saw the ink had pooled in an outline of the flower masks. I inked only the edges again and stamped it to see what it looked like. I really liked it better that the original. So I stamped the 3 flowers in coal in the middle of the monoprint. I colored them in w/ the glaze pens and added tiny clear rhinestones in the centers. It's attached to dp then to white. All layers were edges w/ a red makers then dotted w/ a red glaze pen.
The lower layer is just stamped w/ the various inks and images. I did little red dots in the open spaces w/ the red glaze pen. Both panels are attached to dp.
The ticket was stamped on it's shadow stamp the same way I did the flowers panel. Ribbon is underneath it and dew drops on either side. The card measures 6 1/2 x 5. TFL

This is fantastic! The colors are terrific - so bright and cheery! The technique you used for the main image panel turned out so cool! A really eye-catching card!
