Well, after being separated from my craft supplies for almost 2 months, I could not believe how difficult it was to get back into the swing of it. I sat and stared at all my stuff for hours before finally starting... I think I just had so many ideas running through my head, I didn't know where to start!
This card is for this weeks color challenge and sketch challenge.
The card base is Wild Wasabi. The second layer is a homemade paper that I don't know the brand of. There are two wide ribbons stacked under the sentiment - IRL the ribbon and the homemade paper are the same color, the ribbon looks more red than eggplant in this photo though.
I stamped the image with black ink, and clear embossed. Then colored the image with my ChartPak markers. A bit of glitter was added to the centers of the flowers.
I cut the image out and placed it on the top layer after rubbing a bit of tempting turquoise ink as a highlight.
Image is by Anita's
Sentiment was cut with small oval nestie and rubbed with tempting turquoise and elegant eggplant.
A piece of DP was added to the envie to coordinate with the card. This card was made as a thank you to my DH's boss who gave us a very nice welcome gift when we arrived in Korea.
Thanks for lookin'

I think it's a case of 'absence make the art grow fonder'. This is stunningly beautiful! I love the coloring on the flowers and the blue behind the flowers! You sure haven't lost your touch!

This is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love everything about it... the sponging behind the image is so perfect... really makes the image pop. Your coloring is fantastic and the image itself is lovely, especially with that glitter!
