It's still blooming on day three

Hello...me again :) I have to say thanks for all of your support this week. Before we get started I thought I would let you all know that I am stepping down from Simon Says Stamp Challenge's  DT. I loved working with everyone and they made me feel so welcome and at home right from the beginning. I have been feeling so stressed so I felt simplifying my commitments would be the best thing for me. A big thanks to Simon Says for the opportunity to work with them & their amazing design team. Did you know that Simon Says STAMP SUPER STORE has great international shipping with great prices. Check it out here.

Mother's Day in the U.S. is around the corner so I though some happy art would be a good gift for my mother. This box frame I purchased a while ago on sale waiting for the perfect stamped image.


The background was created the same way as I did on my "batik" cards yesterday. The flowers were colored with the same technique as I did on Monday.



What's great about this flower image from Penny Black called "Sparkle" is that the shading is already done for you.

The Ultra Fine Flower soft was applied a little differently than I did on the flowers on Monday.
If you look closely the centers look like a honey comb and I didn't want to cover that up . I used a glue pen and dotted only certain areas then sprinkled the flower soft on.

I thought this photo might be helpful.

After stamping I added more shading with some Copic markers.

I use this Sharpie marker daily and you can find it anywhere locally. These flowers are super easy to outline & it really makes the flowers pop.

I'll be back tomorrow for my last card. See you then. Hugs, Kathy
