This is the inspiration photo. It caused me to look at more
deeply for inspiration for my card. I could have used the
colors in the photo, but instead I was intrigued how the
overlapped colors intensified.
That was the inspiration that I got for my project. How to make this happen on my card? Well, I thought that if I used vellum, that would work and, so I went to a stamp set called Flower Favorites and used the flower and die from that. It is a lupine.
I also used a die cover from PTI, but I cut it into parts as that I could used the card horizontally. I just love the variation in color that I got by overlapping the vellum that I colored with copic markers.
Here is a closer look at the flowers and the variation of color. There is so much texture on the card that I simply added a HELLO die, cut three times and I did an ombre shading to it as well.
Here is another look at the texture from another angle.
I will be entering this card in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop for April you can find it HERE
Thanks for dropping by and I do appreciate your thoughts and comments.
