Hi everyone. I'm back with a second card as Guest Designer at Penny Black Saturday Challenge - August (optional: Flowers).
Today I've used a lovely tulip image called Overflowing (31-062) from Penny Black. I have paired with the Geometric Frames (51-649) die. I like how this frame looks like a window box when it's filled with flowers. :)
I used the Diagonals (65-019) - Penny Black embossing folder with light green card stock for the background. I then stamped the pretty tulips in black and heat embossed with clear before watercolouring with Distress inks.
I popped up the box of flowers to add dimension and added a simple sentiment (Happy Snippets 30-358) in black ink.
