Brenda (Benzi) is hosting today's Inspiration Challenge, and she selected a wonderful site from which to draw inspiration. The site features gorgeous decorative flags. Great site, Brenda! Thank you!
I chose this flag for my inspiration. I selected it because of the daisies.
To make this card, I cased this beautiful card that I saw on Power Poppy. The artist, Amy Shulke, was showing how to use the chisel nib of Copic markers to create art. She was offering a class to teach her technique, however, I did not get to take it. Therefore, I tried casing her card just by viewing it. Her technique is one I certainly will try again.
The colors I used for the card are not the same as the inspiration piece; however, it represents the beautiful daisies on the flag.
A heartfelt thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! I'll return the favor!

Those lovely white daisies just pop off the page and your background provides just the perfect amount of color and interesting design to help to showcase the blooms.

This is a fabulous background...such a clever technique...looks like mosaic tile chips and is so perfect to make those gorgeous daisies become the highlight of the card! Such a lovely, eye-catching creation!
