Memory Box flower card

























This card was a happy accident. The background had been stamped some time ago with a large rectangular solid stamp onto the cream paper. I came across it the other night and figured this image by Memory Box would stamp well over it. The flowers were colored in with markers. The script was inked with a Dew Drop black dye ink. Unfortunately, once stamped, the red of the flowers was slightly smeared. Rather than throw it away, I pulled out a resevoir pen filled with water and continued to pull color from the flower. Did the same to the plants and even some of the background. The ink was then heat set and a litte glimmer was added to the petals with a Starlight pen. The whole piece was then distressed along the edges with Tim Holtz's Distress tool. A Martha Stewart punch was used on the orange paper. The metal words are a sticker.
