Hey There--
I am on a roll this week. Been in my craft room 3 days plus. The colors at Color Hues are brown and yellow. If you know me you know that yellow is my favorite color. So I had to play along.
This MFT bouquet has been sitting in my new stuff bin far to long, I recently got the die on sale. So it was time for it to come out and play. I had to re-aquaint myself with my Copic markers. It was a bit difficult to get into the grove when one of my darker yellows turned up dry with a loose cap too...so the refill did me no good I have to order another... and then I have somehow mislaid my copic blend swatch cards. I have no idea how, because its a big unwieldy thing. Onward!
The stems, leaves and flower centers are all different brown shades, the flowers of course are yellow shades. I did some inking on the card base. I wont call it blending as its a bit splotchy which I quite like...kind of a foggy shadow. The sentiment from the flower set is heat embossed on vellum, with a second layer of vellum underneath to make the sentiment show up and still leave the blooms showing through too.
Thanks so much for visiting.

Gorgeous blossoms and I love your foggy shadow, Cat - beautiful card!!
I am enjoying all the yellow and brown cards and this one is no exception. I know how frustrating it is when you lose something and have no idea how, because it happens to me on a regular basis, but rest assured it will turn up, or you will suddenly remember what you did with it! Shame about the marker though. I really like that background too xx
Stunning card - great combination of yellow and brown.
Very pretty, Cat - and a clever way to put that vellum to use!
