This is one of my samples for the WTUI this week - you can find out all about the challenge HERE.
For this card I used the Faux Fabric tutorial by Karen Barber. It's basically embossing a stamped panel with a very textured ef, and I guess using DP would have a similar effect. I suspect I didn't have any suitable embossing folders when the tutorial featured in the Weekly Inkling.
Stamped my background panel with Playful Petals and coloured with Couleur d'Art pencils. Stamped one flower and a couple of leaves again on watercolour paper and coloured to match in more intense shades with distress inks and BIC markers. I was thinking of trying to represent one of those little blocked patch bags, but I'd have had to cut the patches so small!! I gave up and just added blocks to my card base, and then finished it off with a sentiment and the fussy-cut flower popped up on foam, and a swirl of gold cording.

Oh my, Sabrina!! Your card is so beautiful, and I love the result from using the technique. You did an awesome job coloring the gorgeous flowers with pencil. The main one in the front is gorgeous! The embossing folder used certainly was a great selection as the panels look like fabric! Great piece of art, Sabrina!
