An Abundance of Hollyhocks

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday!  Today I'm sharing a card created using one of the newest digital floral images from Varada Sharma Designs.  This is a gorgeous image of Hollyhocks from the Abundance of Joy Mini Set , which is part of the larger Abundance of Joy May 2022 Release.  


I haven't colored with pencils in a long time so I decided this card called for colored pencils.  Using my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, I've colored the hollyhocks in a bright pink and spring green.  This is a mini slimline measuring 6.25" x 3.25" and I sized the digital stamp to take up as much space on the focal panel as possible.


The panel was trimmed with a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge Nesting Die and adhered flat to a cardbase of Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 110 lb. card.  The sentiment, included in the set, was trimmed and popped on craft foam for dimension and additional interest.  For the finishing touch, faux black gems were added for that extra bit of sparkle I must have on my cards.

Thanks for stopping by and I invite you to visit the Varada Sharma Designs Shop HERE. There are so many wonderful and pretty sets to choose from.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
