The sentiment on this card comes from a set by Rubbernecker Stamps (called Freehand Phrase Set #900) and are all flower or garden related. I use them a lot since it seems my flower stamp collection seems to grow and grow and grow…….

The set comes with a square and circle outline stamp, you can see I used the square, but in order to put the flower “in front” of it I had to stamp it first an then mask it off before stamping the frame. I did the same on the smaller flower.

After I finished coloring with Copic markers I added some Nuvo drops, glitter glue, and went over the butterfly with a shimmer pen to add a little sparkle.

I was inspired to make this card by combining several challenges. First was CAS Colours & Sketches #384 which I used for my colors.

Next I played along with the challenge at AAA Cards #172, which is to make a single layer card, with the optional twist of “My Other Hobby.” Even though my card features flowers and a garden theme I can’t really say that is my other hobby (although I do appreciate admiring the gardens and flowers of everyone else!)

Next I played along with the sketch at Global Design Project #254 (I went with a vertical orientation).

Finally I would like to enter this in the challenge at Inspire.Create.Challenges #076 which has a theme of “garden.”
