Hubs brought in the mail today, and there was a packet with new crafty items. For once I immediately played with the stamps. These Peonies from Avery Elle are drawn so nicely, and I loved coloring my stamped image. When I was finished, looking at the card, I really get a 3D effect; hubs came by and said it looked like 4 layers, when I handed him the card, he was surprised. Yes the blossoms and leaves are just one layer...I have to credit that to using Sandy Allnock's Hex Chart. I never would have put YG63 and G43 together on the leaves without that chart.
I am entering this card to two challenges, Leslie's
Crooked Stampers Sketch Challenge-6 and
Avery Elle's AEHeartU Challenge-Sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies: Copic Markers, Hex Chart, DCWV glitter paper, Avery Elle's Peonies Stamp set, Embossing Powder, Memento Ink, Versamark ink, black cardstock scraps.
Isn't that hex chart da bomb? Love those flowers, and the coloring is great! Thanks for playing my CSSC!
