Thinking of You

Today the sun is finally shining again and it does look a bit like spring here in the high desert of Nevada.  Flowers aren't quite blooming, yet, but I thought a bright, cheerful card was a good substitute.  Flowers that never fade.

This card does have a few layers to it.  I started by embossing the orange layerwith the Leaf Frame Cover Die.  On a piece of Whisper White, I stenciled the dots using Silver Lake ink.  Then, I glued them together and attached that double layer to a white card base.  The flowers are from the Wonderful Romance stamp set.  I stamped the outline in black and used colored pencils and gamsol to color them.  It's my favorite way to color these days.  For the finishing touch I added some iridescent bubbles that nicely reflect the color of the flowers.
