MFTWSC228

MFTWSC 228 - Love - this card  reminds me of metal yard art.  It  was given a  "folk art" feel with the black and white edge.  The petals were given a little softness by stamping with white pigment ink then brushed with clear Wink of Stella.  Added definition was made by outlining the elements with a black Pitt pen.  The rectangle leaf was made by using one of the tails (the Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX dies).

MFT Color Challenge 20 and MFTWSC 225

Meet my card for the MFT Color Challenge 20 and MFTWSC 225.  The negative of the Upsy Daisy Die-Namics was used for the flowers.  To add interest and dimension the panel was attached using foam tape.  The middle of the flowers were the perfect size to add enamel dots.
