One thing I knew for sure going into this challenge was that I didn't want to do anything with flowers! Then I got sucked in by these prints on the Ballard website.
I Spent WAY too much time trying a vibrant black ink resist that just wouldn't quite work today. Scraped that and finally opted for the softer look of the Black Magic technique instead.
I stamped a variety of flowers in frost white on black cardstock. once dry, I color with prismacolor pencils and added a deckle edge die cut to finish.

the drama of that black backdrop for these blooms is fabulous.
(and I kinda had to laugh at that plan you had too... that almost always happens to me if I make up my mind ahead of time lol)

Beautiful Linda - I feel your pain of trying a different technique and then switching gears (probably 1 1/2 hours later)!!! BUT, you got a gorgeous card out of the deal, so pretty!!
