For the Inspiration Challenge (IC737), Stacy chose a group of tote bags. Lots to choose from & for my card, I was inspired by the bright colors of THIS tote bag.
After I colored the daisies, I used a trio of blue Copics to color in the bg around the flowers. Thankfully it was a small area because itâs harder than it looks. And from experience, start w/ the lightest color first..itâs really hard to walk that dark color back, lol. I added a white frame to brighten it up a bit then attached it to the embossed orchid colored bg. I thought this embossing folder mimicked the quilting of the tote bag & I used a white gel pen to add dots at the intersections. The greeting was stamped w/ the dk navy ink & I drew the little flower over the i.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copics colors & all the product links: The Write Stuff

Julie, your card is a great representation of the inspiration piece. The flowers are colored beautifully and look fantastic against the blue background. I agree about using copics to color a background. You did a great job at that. The embossed panel is a perfect addition to represent the quilted tote bag. Great work, Julie!
