It was easy to stamp and color with Copic Markers. I drew over the stems with a very light green to add color and shadow. I also colored around the flowers with a lighter shade than the flower color. I wanted to let the stamps do all the talking this time so I kept them clean and simple.
For my second card I did a double border (one along the top, and the other along the bottom) with a sentiment placed in the center. You can see the outline coloring really well in this close up. I added a few pearls to the flower centers and some butterflies for fun! I layered both cards on colored card stock to highlight one of the colors in the flowers.
