Countryside Bouquet

Hello!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!  My posts have been a little scarce lately.  I've had a great opportunity presented to me and I've been working hard to get that rolling...which has taken a lot of my free time.  So I won't be around much for the next few weeks as that gets set up.  I'm so excited!  I can't wait to share with you what it is!  But not yet :)

So, we start a new challenge today at Tuesday Throwdown...nice and easy for you...Anything Goes!!!  And we have a fabulous sponsor offering an amazing prize - Power Poppy Stamps!!!  I'm so extremely happy we got them on our sponsor list this year!  I've been dying to get the chance to use their images!!!  If you haven't checked out their products yet, you must go now!  Amazing!

I decided to use the Countryside Bouquet image for my card.  What a gorgeous piece of art!  Holy smokes!  I loved watercoloring this with my Inktense pencils!  So much detail and depth...it's just gorgeous!

As you can see, the card is pretty simple.  I wanted that image to be front and center and not have anything really distract from it.  There are little bits of shimmer pen around the petals and I've trimmed the sides down a bit so it's a taller card.  I added the sentiment onto a piece of vellum and white heat embossed it.  Then layered that onto a black piece of cardstock that I had trimmed with a scallop edge.  The whole thing is finished off with a few Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets!  Love those things!

I absolutely adore this card!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
    Case This Sketch #156
   
    Ooh La La #196-In the Country
    Power Poppy-Stretch Yourself
    Word Art Wednesday #218-Anything Goes

Thanks again for visiting!! <3
