I started by die cutting the flower from white card and I put some double sided tape on the back to keep it together. It does have a solid layer which you can put it on to but on this occasion I decided to use the die as is. I coloured the whole thing with a red alcohol marker and then the stem and leaves with a green one, just leaving the stamens white and then I added a darker red to the petals to give it some shading. You can also do another layer of the outline which you can add over the top if you like, in the same colour or a different colour, but as it is going in the post I thought on this occasion I wouldn't do that. I did add a bit of Pergamano clear glitter to the stamens and then I decided to add a little grey pencil to make them a little less stark white. I then embossed the Hearts EF using a piece of white card and cut it down to fit the 5" x 7" card and then added the flower over the top and finished with a sentiment strip stamped with Adirondack Bottle Ink and heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder, and added it over the flower raising it up with some dimensional tape. A simple card but the flower is big and bold and I felt that was enough.
Thank you for visiting my blog today and I'll see you again soon.
