It's a piece of canvas wall art but I was inspired to make a card.
I started with a piece of Parchment cardstock and stamped a bacgkround from Heidi Swapp in Antique Linen Distress Ink. I added some script background from PTI. The butterflies are from Crafts Meow Butterfly Kisses. I added a postage stamp and cancellation image from PTI's Postmarks and Just Rite's Greetings from Paris. The sunflower is stamped using Clearly Besotted Sunshine & Smiles (love this flower!) and colored it with my copics and adding gel pen accents.
The sentiment is also from Crafts Meow Friend of Mine and I added some black Wink Of Stella to give it some sparkle.
I distressed the outside edges with more Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.
I haven't done a collage style card in a very long time and am just loving how this turned out.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday
