Hi! I made this card for today's color challenge: perfect breeze pizazz and for yesterday's TLC challenge: W.I.S.H. OK, so I'm not good at drawing together elements that are urban and/or distressed with the elegant/pretty! But I think this card works?!? Maybe???
Anyway, I stamped the flowers first, then masked them. I stamped the brick wall over the mask, removed the mask, and drew in some of the lines that were deleted by the mask. I used my color spritzer tool to add in some black dots, colored in the flowers with markers and black glaze pen, and tore/distressed the edges. For the background I used the W.I.S.H technique and added splatter in plum, pear and baja. Mounted it and added twine. I stamped the greeting, punched it and a larger oval out, added a pearl pin and some ribbon. I'm not sure I like the pin, ribbon and ovals. But I guess they'll have to stay!
TFL and have a wonderful day!

Oh, this is so nice!! I love how you blended the colors for your background--so soft and pretty. And the way you wrapped your twine looks awesome!! Great use of the brick wall, too. Super work
