Since the challenge theme this month at A Blog Named Hero is "Put a Flower On It", I decided to use alcohol inks to color this lovely new magnolia stamp from Hero Arts.
I first created a two pieces of alcohol inked Yupo paper - one in peach and one in green. Then I embossed the flower in gold and fussy cut. Did the same with the green - then adhered them together with a nest of gold thread on a vellum circle. This is one of those cards that will be ready for a sentiment when I need a special card.
Be sure to enter your floral card here. The challenge runs until May 10th - great prizes to be had - $50 g.c from Hero Arts for the winner and $25 g.c. for a random winner!
Oh boy is this gorgeous, Betty! I keep saying I'm going to use my AIs, but they just sit on the shelf. Love the variation in the colors & gold embossing was the perfect choice!
