This card covers 2 challenges, yesterday's color challenge, Black, Gray & Purely Pomegranate, and today's sketch challenge. It is a RAK for a fellow SCSer who is quite sick and could use some cheer. If you would like to send her a card, too, here is the link to Cindy's (Mothermark) card, with the link to the thread about her. Happy Thoughts for Blooming Flowers by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
I stamped the sentiment (*After the showers, the smell of flowers.*) in embossed sliver on a vellum tag, with a flower from the DP Stella Ruby mounted undernteath it. It's very subtle, but looks pretty IRL. The main flower images I stamped in Versamark and embossed in a mixture of Detail Silver, Pink, and a tiny bit of Burgundy EP, which gives it a softer, more mottled look. Edges are distressed; images popped up on Pop Dots, and lots of cool embellies added for fun!
Hope she likes it; hope you do too! Thanks for looking!
Maddy

Maddy, your cards are all so amazing. This is no exception. I like the elegant distressed look - could that be what this is? At any rate, so many lovely details. TFS with all of us.
