Congratulations to our newly crowned Queen - Faith (yabbadodo). Wear your crown proudly, Faith. Here is the lovely card that inspired me CC182 Monochromatic Taken with Teal
I used Stampin Up's "Pleasant Poppies" backgrounder stamp. Stamped with memento black ink onto water colour paper. Coloured with Tombow and Stampin Up markers. Dotted centers with white gel pen. I Spritzed the image panel with Perfect Pearls Mist "Interference red"
Matted with black and rose red cardstock. Sewed edges. Stamped birthday sentiment on vellum with memento black and clear embossed. Tore vellum. Attached to Image panel. Punched out the butterflies and glued on. Added the silver half pearls.
This works for the Ways to use it challenge - versatile vellum and the Free 4 all challenge - F4A172 - field of flowers.
F4A175 - Think big - big embellishment or big stamp --- My poppy stamp is a big "backgrounder" stamp - hope that works = as the big stamp..
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..Pat

WOW! You made just a beautiful card AND so perfect for all those challenges! Pat, this really is gorgeous! I love those tall poppies and your coloring is so VERY pretty! Your sentiment is so cool on the torn vellum! Fantastic case and wonderful birthday card!!!
This is such a pretty card, Pat. Love everything about it. I need to remember to use vellum more often. It adds such a softness to a card and is perfect for a sentiment.
