Etched Meadow Flower

Hello and welcome!  Yes, a second post today, this time for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge, where Kim has given us a fabulous sketch to play with! (you can find my earlier Sunday Stamps post here.)

I decided to go with some soft peach colors on my card.

I started by die cutting the Etched Meadow Flower and Leaves from watercolor paper, then used my Karin markers to color.  Since the markers have such vibrant colors, I just added brushed on a bit with the marker at the base of each flower and leaf, then pulled the color out with my damp paintbrush. After the initial coloring dried I went back into the flowers and some of the leaves to add more color for a bit more contrast.

To complete the card, I created a 5"x 7" ivory card base, then layered on two patterned paper designs, one as the strip across the middle.  Next I used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder (I am in love with this ef!) to created the subtle pattern on a panel of ivory, die cut it with a deckled rectangle die, then adhered the die cut flowers and sentiment strip.  After the decorated panel was mounted on the card with foam tape, the final step was to add some enamel dots.

That's it for today!  Thanks for visiting, I always appreciate it so much!  

Take care and stay safe!
