Beautiful Blooms.....

I actually made a card for no reason, no challenge, no reason except that I loved these colors and wanted to use them!!!  I saw a card using River Rock and a blue color.  I immediately thought how pretty River Rock and Bashful Blue would look together.  I added Vanilla and a dark brown Bazzill color as well.  I must say, I LOVE these colors together and hope you do too!

The base of my card is Bashful Blue with a mat of Dark Brown Bazzill cardstock, then Vanilla, then River Rock and then a decorative piece of paper from the retired SU! paper pack, Holiday Thyme.  The 2 little pearls are from K&Company and are self adhesive.  The focal image is from the retired SU! hostess set, Garden Silhouettes.  I had NEVER used this set ~ can you believe it??!?!?  I used markers to ink the stamp up.  I used Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue markers for the branch and flowers and then used a blender pen and my River Rock ink pad to color the leaves.  Once I had colored on my stamp, I huffed on it a few times and then stamped it on my Vanilla cardstock.  I added a knot of Bashful Blue taffeta ribbon and White ~ Liquid Pearls to the centers of all of the flowers.  I then matted it on Bashful Blue cardstock and then a larger piece of Dark Brown Bazzill cardstock.  I used dimensionals to mount the focal image on top of the dark brown Bazzill cardstock.

This card was also REALLY easy which is good because I have a lot going on right now!!  I will share the news with you tomorrow!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
