So fun relaxing by coloring my flowers with markers. I then heat EB with Clear EB powder to brighten and give a shine to the flowers. I fussy cut the flower image and cut out a few flowers and leaves to make the bouquet spill over my bowl vase. I brushed Gesso onto the colored vase to add a ceramic texture. The background for the main image was just sponged with 2 colors. Very simple card and fun :-)

Such a pretty card. I like how the blue part of your background looks like it has clouds in it. Love how you added texture and interest with the clear embossing powder and gesso.
