This is another card using one of the sets that I won from Stamp Simply. I colored it several weeks ago when we were on the west coast of Florida attending a dear friend's memorial service. We stayed several days, and I got to use my colored pencils and no-line coloring. When we were packing, I realized I wanted to take something to color and quickly grabbed my pencils and a small pencil sharpener. I stamped the tulip with Antique Linen on a piece of card stock that was on my table and finished packing. Let's just say I learned that X-Press It Blending Card is not ideal for pencils. Ha! My petals are what needed the most work (and still need some), but that is primarily because I ended up burnishing before I was able to get more dimension...but at least the leaves are better...I hope...and it's a lesson learned.
I had another challenge when I got home as to how I would use it. I was limited by the size of the card stock I colored, so I used my MISTI to add the "thinking of you" sentiment from the Thinking of You Rose set, used a petite oval die, placed that over the Filigree Delight die, and popped it over Certainly Celery using dimensionals. I used my Perfect Layers tool to mat it, and then I adhered it to the textured card base and added pearls in the corners. I used a stitched rectangles die and matted it with Certainly Celery for the inside to make it look more polished...and it is completely done and ready to mail!
Thank you for taking a closer look at my card, and I hope you have a wonderful week and weekend coming up! Hugs, all!
