Hello Friends and Happy Thursday! It's the 15th of the month and time for a new challenge at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. We have a cheery inspirational picture (always optional) that features the January Flower of the Month - Carnations.
The inspiration picture had me thinking of Valentine's Day, but I chose to create a Card of Encouragement for a friend who's experiencing a tough time of it lately. I've used the Best Flowers Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs and patterned papers from the "Havanna" 6x6 paper pad by Prima Marketing, and I've colored the floral using Copic markers.
After coloring the image, I've fussy cut it and adhered to a panel that's been embossed using a Park Lane embossing folder that my sister-in-law sent me for Christmas. The sentiment is from a digital set that I've had in my sentiment stash, just waiting for the right card. The sentiment has been popped on foam pads.
Lastly, I've added pink faux gems to accent the sentiment, and called this card complete. I do hope it brings a bit of comfort to my friend.
I hope you'll pop over to the challenge and see all the beautiful cards my teamies have created, and play along with us too. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
