Hello. I made this card for the Letter V alphabet challenge. V is for the color violet for the flower. For the rustic gray background, I scored the piece on the diagonal at every 1/4" in both directions. Then I took my basic gray ink pad and put it direct to paper and ran it over the paper several times until I had the coverage I wanted. The thanks die is cut from black card stock, then I added clear wink of stella over the top to add a little shimmer and shine. I sent this card to a very dear scs friend and she has it now so I am able to post this card now. Thanks for looking. ~Karen.

Oh Karen this is stunning! Such a beautiful card - your flower is beautifully colored. The background that you created is fabulous. The color scheme reminds me of my older brother's wedding (many years ago) - very pretty! Gorgeous!

A beautiful violet card. The flower is beautifully coloured and I just love the scored and coloured bg. I just love all the creativity I am learning about as I view different cards.

Very well done with Letter V! Love the vibrant violet-colored flower. Awesome background. Thanks for describing how you made it. Into my favs. Love the gingham ribbon. The die-cut "thanks" is lovely. Great card. I'm sure the recipient loved it! Thanks for sharing.
