Here's a simple little note card that I may just use for an extra project this Wednesday at the Mothers Class.
First, I stamped the flower in India Ink black and colored it with a watercolor brush using Wild Honey and Fired Brick Distress Inks. Using an acrylic ruler and a black SU marker, I drew two boxes around the flower. I darkened the inside box for contrast around the petals, then drew wavy lines and dots in the "frame" for added interest. (Click on photo for a closer view.)
Next, I wrote the "hello" free hand and embellished the flower center with yellow Stickles.
Finally, I cut off some of the bottom to make the card a square and rounded the corners. I plan to show the class how to alter a large envelope to accommodate a smaller card as shown HERE.

this is really a pretty card Doris-I love the coloring on your image-have never used distress inks to color with-it looks great
Very pretty, Doris! Shading the area around the flower in black really makes it pop and the doodles in the frame are fun.
