Everything Wonderful, Large Floral Design Used To Create, a Sympathy Card and A Bonus Card

Well Hello Crafty Friends,

I have two cards for you today, using the beautiful large floral image from Honey Bee Stamps.

I am not usually fond of this kind of design, as i'm more an character artist. But I just kept looking, at this image and I wanted to challenge myself. By stepping out of my comfort zone.

So here we go.

Unfortunately I  had to make a sympathy card this month, when I read the sentiments to this stamp set this was perfect. Then after enjoying this challenge  so much, I went on to make an autumnal card for a Oct/ Nov Birthday.

Card One

Next I used a blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide, to go around the outside of the card blank.

I then stamped my sentiment and re stamped my image, using my Misti in versafine Onyx Black Ink
.

Next I did exactly the same, only changing the colours, of  pencils.

I used a light blue pencils to go around the outside of the image.
