Springtime Flowers / TIME OUT Challenge Reminder


Hi friends!
A quick reminder of our current challenge at TIME OUT where we are CASEing Marjan's card (below). Check the challenge blog for all the details!



In my card I've used flowers stamps by Uniko Studio and also used an embossing folder called "rock" to the lower part of the card (this idea comes from my good friend Sandie who I just spend 3 great days with!) . I stamped the flowers with light colored DI and then colored a base layer with Copic markers, then used Intense pencils for added interest. This was the first time that I dared to blog a card with these kind of flowers -I've been super intimidated with this coloring technique! Marika from Me and Minime Crafting has several amazing tutorial videos on this if you'd like to give this style a go. 

I'd like to play along at current Mod Squad Challenge: Springtime Flowers along with Uniko Studios March Challenge: Spring/Easter. CASology this time is Weather: I think these sparingly flowers reflect sunny weather really well! Hope you like!
