The bold black and deep pink of this card's border complement the rich colors of the flowers. Image from Blockhead's "Inspired by Nature" series was stamped on 140 lb. watercolor paper using Memories Artprint Brown ink. Successive layering of colors, using watercolor pastilles, shimmering watercolors and watercolor pencils, is used to create the detailed shading and add depth and shine to the petals. Ovals for sentiment cut with Nestabilities dies. Two small bone rings are used to create the buckle on the ribbon "belt" Photo submitted by Gitana, the Creative Diva
The black layer is glossy cardstock which works well with the satin shine on the petals in the main image panel.
