I have been staring at the cards on the Hero Arts catalog for awhile now and wanted to make a card inspired by the one on the left:
I mimicked the three flowers on my card but wanted the colors to be a bit brighter and bolder. Have you tried the Faber Castell big brush markers? I got hooked on them in Jennifer and Shari's class. I have nearly all of the Copics, why do I need more markers. Because these are so fun and you can stamp with them! Love the look.
I used Hero's Basic Grey Sweet Threads stamp for the flowers, stems and greeting. I also could not wait to use this new Hero Lotus stamp:
I stamped it in versamark and embossed with Ranger Clear Detail embossing powder. I knew it would be gorgeous and it is! I am sure I will be using this one alot.
Other supplies: May Arts ribbon; Spellbinders oval die; Hero Arts Layering papers
ACK! Another mention of the stamper's big brush markers!! I've been obsessively scouring the internet trying to find the best deal on them since I can't find them at Michael's or Hobby Lobby yet. So far they are out of my price range (when factoring in shipping). Bah. Soon enough they will be MINE!!! :)
That said, lovely card! I really like how the flowers turned out.

The card turned out wonderful, so pretty. I refuse to by any more markers! I have quite a few Copics and I used to have the complete set of LePlume's but gave them away years ago. I am holding strong so far, I hope it lasts.
