For my card today I went with a very bright color palette! I love bright cards and color! I printed this beautiful image on Bristol smooth card stock and colored in the stamp using my zig clean color brush markers. I did also add some colored pencils to areas of the flower where I wanted a little more color. As I was coloring, I realized that I needed to bring some more attention to the stamen of the flower, so I used my white gel pen to add some more definition. Once I did this, I felt better. I have learned there are many ways to “fix” things in stamping and coloring!

I wanted to add a lot of color to the background and so I used Nuvo Shimmer powders here to create the background on watercolor card stock. These powders are so fun to work with and a little goes a long way! I then adhered my floral to the card base using foam tape, as well as the sentiment. I added a few sequins, along with some stickles in the middle as well.

I hope you enjoyed seeing one of Rachel’s new images! Please check out her store for more beautiful florals!
