I have a card to share with you today that when I began I had no idea where I was going with it. I knew I wanted to use my oval punches but from there....no idea.
Have you ever had one of those....duh....what am I wanting to do.....where's the inspiration?
How I came up with what I did, I have no clue...
I started with whisper white c/s. Then I stamped the speckled background with one of the stamps from Itty Bitty Backgrounds (so glad that set came back!!!). The ink is Always Artichoke. I only have the marker but it worked great by 'coloring' it then stamping. For my ovals I used the flowering bush stamp from Thoughts and Prayers. I colored one section of the stamp. I used my Always Artichoke marker and my Rose Red marker. Then stamped it on WW c/s and punched it out with my large oval punch. I used some misc. pp for the scalloped ovals then mounted them with dimensionals. My sentiment is from the Thoughts and Prayers set. I colored it with my Rose Red marker also. To finish my card, I added Dazzling Diamonds to the center of each flower.
Well, there's the story behind this card. I hope you enjoy and find inspiration from my creation :)
Until next time...
Blessings...
