The Flower Challenge #28

Hello friends.  Playing with a NEW TO ME challenge today called The Flower Challenge (yup, right up my alley!!) and I love the simple PINK and GREY colors for this challenge!


I received a new stamp set for Christmas (thanks Sue!!) by Gina K called Just A Little and I think it worked perfectly for this challenge!

I stamped the image in Versafine Black Onyx and then embossed with clear...I like to do this to make sure there will be no bleeding of color when I use my Copics.  I colored the leaves in with C1, C3, & C5 Copics and colored the flower in with R81 & R83 Copics.  Here's a closer up:
  
The sentiment is also from the Just A Little stamp set (LOVE the font of the "just"!!) and I finished off the card by layering it with a piece of Basic Gray cs (SU!) and mounted to a white card base.  I also added a few iridescent sequins to add just a touch of shine.

Lots of BEAUTIFUL cards from the DT and in the gallery to inspire you, and this challenge goes till the 26th.  You can check it all out and play along right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    This is stunning my friend! What a clever idea to clear emboss over the top before coloring. You're the smartest, most bestest designer I have the honor of knowing. Truly though, this is beautiful! Miss you my friend.
