Good morning, I'm here with a card for the Time Out Challenge using their fabulous inspiration photo:
I used MFT's Fall Florals and stamped the flowers in jewel tones, as that was what I picked up on from the inspiration photo. Well, the colors and the brick wall. I started by embossing the white card stock with a brick embossing folder and gently rubbed some grey ink over the center of the bricks randomly. Then I cut and stamped the flowers.
After I stamped the flowers, I stamped them again using Versamark Ink and swept some pearlized powders over each of the flowers, giving them a shimmery look. I don't remember the name of the powders, my mind has gone completely blank! I tried to capture the shine. You can kind of see how they look in these close up photos.
ETA: Loll suggested that I used Perfect Pearls and she was absolutely right! Thanks LOLL!!
After I was done taking pictures, I still felt like something was missing so I added some small butterflies cut from colored card stock that I gave some sparkle to, using a clear Wink Of Stella pen.
I'll also be adding this card to the following challenges:
