Now for the card. The bluebonnets and other wildflowers are blooming in Texas and it is an awesome display of God's beautiful glory! You will see many cars stopped on the side of the roads where there is a field of blue, red, yellow, a rainbow of colors, taking pictures!

I used one of my 2 new stamps, a bluebonnet and water colored and cut it out with my Tombow markers. It is has iridescent glitter on the white areas of the flower as a highlight but isn't showing well in the photo as it is overcast and sprinkling as I took the photo! It is done in the style of Faith Hofritcher and you can see her site here.

I love her color combos and style. She really does it much better than I do! I like to attempt to replicate/CASE (Copy And Share Everything) styles and designs of other great card artists to learn new techniques. When I do I will always interpret it with some of my style and try to make it my "own" a bit. It is always that way anyway when you try to recreate something you see, it will always be a bit different from person to person and that's what makes it art!

The bluebonnet image and sentiment is popped up with dimensionals. I shaded the edges of the card stock with a darker ink color and added the dots as Faith does. Decorative brads and a brown metallic ribbon finish the card. Tomorrow I will post the other of the set, the Indian Paintbrush card. Remember enter to win the BLOG CANDY!

Until tomorrow,

Shalom,
