Krafty crafter over at ABNH

Hello!

I'm here to share the card I made for the current challenge over at ABNH.

The challenge this time is The Krafty Crafter!! Use kraft cardstock in SOME WAY. easy peasy.

Here is my card:

I was inspired MAJORLY when I saw this photo over on pinterest.

I took some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, and I stamped the Hero Arts Friends definition background stamp in white Colorbox ink, then heat set it to make sure it dried. Next I stamped the flower background and clear embossed it.

I coloured in the flowers (which were not embossed as its a negative image), using my beloved Prismacolor pencils. I started with the white, which I used only on the one side of most of the flowers, I wanted it to look almost like a shadow (but white) then I started with the pinky oranges :) A very soft pink, then added a coral, a dark coral-orange, a red and finally the yellow just in little centres and a few small areas. I then went back over the entire image (not the white parts though) with the palest pink to blend it all together.

I left the stems and leaves plain and I think they look awesome.

Actually I have to be honest, I'm completely in love with this card. I might take the sentiment off and just frame it :)

Oh, the sentiment is Hero Arts too :) Finally I just matted the card onto black, then caramel coloured Bazzill Card shoppe cardstock. Yum.

ok that's it for me! Be sure to pop over to the blog to see the rest of the DT's creations--we have a special guest who is very close to my heart! The lovely Leslie :)
