I used a no line colouring technique and I stamped my image with light grey ink rather than the usual black. Next, I used pink markers from Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F and green colours from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E to colour the floral elements in.

To finish the card off, I used Garden Harmony 3D Embossing Folder for the background.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Natasha Davies.

Here is the full line up for the blog hop today.

For today’s blog hop I created a quick and simple card using the embossing folder, a floral image from the Elegant Motifs Stamp Set and a coordinating die.

I started by using 3D embossing folder to create my background. Then I stamped a floral image and used markers from Rock Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set D and Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E to colour it in.
