The image is from a Penny Black clear set called Belle Fleurs and I stamped it with Versamark and embossed it with white detail powder. I used the same with the sentiment which is by HobbyArt. The image is coloured with Spectrum Noir Coloured Pencils then I added some clear Wink of Stella. The image is cut out with a circular Spellbinders die which I adhered to the base card and edged with faux stitching using a white gel pen.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Craft Barn Weekly Challenge - this time its to use some sort of pens or pencils for colouring.
Penny Black and More Challenge - Summer Flowers
Both these blogs are definitely worth a visit!

Yes! I've seen lots of pencil on kraft lately too! I might even try it myself one day. It is a out of my comfort zone for the same reason but still an interesting fun look. Your card came out quite nice and I'll be extra sparkly with the Wink of Stella. I never got the hang of that stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jack pot with this beautiful card - the colors have so much depth especially on the Kraft card. I sure would love to give this a go.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet comment you left me today. With a big move and a new computer, it has been quite easy to loose track of people!

This is one of the prettiest cards using Brushos that I have seen. I like the white stamping better than the black I do believe. Well I don't know - now I am looking at the golden flowers one and the black looks great on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful lady - my heart is heavy.
Thank you Chris,
Sandy xx
