Hi! This card was made for today's Featured Stamper Challenge: IRIS. I chose This Card to CASE. (Copy And Share Everything) I also made this card for Speedy's Friends Challenge: emboss.
For today's card, I chose to change the image to Hollyhock from Pears and Hollyhock, the color combo, and switched the placement of the designer paper from the background to a layer under the focal image and for the decorative strip.
The image was stamped in Adirondack's Pitch Black and sponged in with Distress Ink: Wild Honey and Crushed Olive. I sponged around the Breezy Blue layer with Palette Ink's Reflection Blue. The sentiment was stamped in Pitch Black. It is a Sneak Peek of Flourishes and Frame to be released in July.
I embossed the background with a Tim Holtz/Sizzix Texture Folder: Damask.
Finished card size: 5 1/4" square
Total time to complete: 31 minutes
