This card is for today's sketch challenge(SC242)! I turned the layout so my focal image could be horizontal. Plus, I altered the sizes to adapt to my 5.5 squared card.
I am using some more of the My Mind's Eye Complete Boy paper pad. Like I said before, I almost did not look at it since it was gender specific. I am glad I did because there are a lot of great patterns in there. I am using ODBD newly release Happy Birthday sets.
Instead of stamping the whole watering can with the flowers, I just used a portion of the image in the top opposite corners. I also stamped the butterfly image that comes in the set. I colored my image with copic markers. I added a few tiny pearls to the center of some of the flowers. I added a Martha Stewart border punch. I finished my card with a black gingham bow.
The soft yellow vertical panel is a tonal flower dp of unknown origins. I cuttlebugged it and sponged on some river rock ink to make it not so yellow. I also sponged some river rock ink onto the gingham bow to soften the stark white look in that ribbon. I used the corner rounder on just one corner on the focal panel for visual effect.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
