Monochromatic Best Wishes

Why is April going by so fast?  Here it is the middle of the month and time for Jan's Digi Stamp Shop mid-month release.  We've got several really pretty cards to show you today over on Jan's Challenge Blog (click here).  Don't forget you can enter your cards there also for a chance to win her digital images! 

For my mid-month project, I've selected one of her newer releases, Best Wishes.  This open overflowing envelope of flowers is perfect for a thank you, get well, thinking of you or other card of encouragement or special occasion.  

I've made mine monochromatic using shades of purples.


For the flowers I blended different combinations of Copics B60, B63, B66, B69.  The leaves were done with YG63, YG67, and G85 and I used the Copic Olive Multi-liner for the narrow stems.

I used the Gina Marie Designs Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die for the edge and then mounted on the card base. I wanted to accent the flower centers to give a little more shimmer.  I added a nice sized drop of my book-binding glue over the 'yellow colored areas' in each flower, and then carefully placed three to four lavender multi shaded glass seed beads.   I left the card to dry for several hours before proceeding. 



The pale lavender organza ribbon and bow at the top fold completed my card for this project. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog.  I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to “Follow” my blog and to visit my site ~ “Not Just Scraps” on Facebook ~ where you can purchase my cards.
