Rather than being inspired by a project or elaborate scoring designs, this photo caught my attention with what I thought was a beautiful color combination. It was a lovely box in itself too, but a card better suits my needs.
The back panel of the card is a vellum die cut overlay on the matte silver CS. The base of my image panel is a Gelli print that I made awhile ago using pearlized acrylic paints and impressed with a "daisy" design of a rubbery sink mat that I found on sale at TJ Maxx. The SH stamp comes with the script already behind the hollyhock stem....nothing I thought of. The image was watercolored. Between the pearlized paint and silver, there is a lot of "shimmer" on this card IRL, but I know that my photo did not capture it....use your imagination. ; )

Very pretty Sallie, love when you can let a stamp do a lot of the work.... but the beautiful watercoloring is all you my dear.... I'm sure the shimmer is just gorgeous

Outstanding! Love the colors, the patterns, the script writing, all of it. I can imagine that it does shimmer so pretty IRL. Fabulously inspired. Well done! TFS

Beautiful Sallie, I love the writing behind your flowers! Wow, that is such an incredible appealing look! I LOVE the bg you made!! I need to get my Gelli plate out again, it has been forever since i tried anything with it!

Beautifully done card - love the look of your hollyhocks stretching up the front . . .I am going to have to check out this Gelli print thing - I have seen it mentioned several time in the past few weeks and it's new to me . .
