I had several challenges in mind when I created my card - the photo from The Card Concept, the theme of flowers from The ModSquad, and the theme of occasions from Watercooler Wednesday.
I recently bought the Tim Holtz wildflower dies - loved the variety of flowers. Chose just the skinny flowers and watercolored them with my Karin markers - scribbled the ink on the paper and spritzed with water - pretty easy. After putting my bouquet together I added it to my wood plank background (sponged a little extra color with DO pumice stone). Used black and white for my sentiment and also the twine to echo the gingham ribbon - added the darker gray stripe for the stripe(s) on the bucket. I guess my style for this card is clean and layered with rather vintage look.
Beautiful, very elegant card, Betty!
