This is done for the Inspiration Challenge and you can the photo we played off of in this link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The flowers and butterfly are cut out and taped to the card. I used pad ink to color white ribbon to match. The lower cardstock is a linen texture and I used the Brilliance blue and brayer to color the cardstock enough to make the texture stand out.
The top strips are colored with a brayer and Brilliance ink. Aqua painter and pad ink were used to color the images. Squiggles lines are freehand.

I am so impressed. I thought that balloon was quite, well, challenging and I didn't end up doing the challenge. You , however, came through as usual. This is so cute! Love the colors and the squiggley lines!

OMG Rox, this is sooooooo pretty! I love these colors together and how the black make the panels pop. Your squiggles are perfection and love the blue linen texture.

Sensational card. Love all the hand drawn lines added around the edge.
