Pink Poppies

Hello Readers,

For today I am writing on behalf of House of Cards to let you know we have a new challenge for this month. Even though we are predicted to get snow this week, Spring is still is in the air. ((I think?)) Anyway, here is my inspiration card for today, enjoy!

This is kind of a scene done in reverse. The off white background is what is embossed
and give you an opportunity to color within the lines and have texture all around.

Some of you may have this stamp so as you can see this card is gigantic.
The inside had to be modified to the correct size to the front of the card. 
Watercolored using Distress Ink pens and water. The green frame is just an extension of the
of the flowers. 


I didn't use script for this card but I didn't think it needed it.. The colors and scene were nicely put together and thought the sentiment would be better suited for the inside of the card.

I do hope you will be able to play along with us at House of Cards. As usual we really enjoy seeing your take on the challenge. So please hop on over there and see what the other talented DT's for their inspiration. See you there and until next time take care.

All the best,
Shawna
