Hello and thank you for viewing my card. This card is submitted for the today's "Inspiration Challenge". We were to choose a website and make a card from the inspiration of that website. I used this website page:
Here's the deets on my card: The main stamped image is from a clear stamp set called "Flowers by Amy Smyth" by Inkadinkado. I colored all the blooms with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with mineral spirits. I stamped all 4 blooms a second time and colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and blended them with mineral spirits, as well and then cut them out and popped them up on Dimensionals. I lightly sponged around the image edge with SU! Only Orange, and then heavily sponged on top of that with SU! Pumpkin Pie. The sentiment was stamped in Adirondack Pitch Black using a sentiment from the Hero Arts set "Hello Birdie!". I lightly sponged around the sentiment edge with SU! Only Orange and punched it out using a Marvy Clever Lever Small Round Punch, and then matted that on an orange coordinating textured piece of Colorbok cardstock, and punched that out using the next size up Marvy Round Punch. I doodled dots around the sentiment edges with a Zig Black Marker and popped that up with thicker Pop-Up Dots and then secured it to the main image using a large black & white decorative brade from Making Memories Black & White Brad Combos. I paper piercing along some of the image matting using the SU! Mat Pack and a paper piercing tool. I embellished with a Black & White Polka Dotted Ribbon from Michael's (the photo gives the ribbon a strange light black hue, but it is black and white).
TFL and I love feedback!

Love the vibrant colors - your Prisma/Mineral spirit coloring gives the flowers such a realistic feel! I also love the orange sponged on the white background - it's like there's a light shining behind the flowers!! TFS!
