On to my creation! This sketch above is on the simple side, so I thought -- what better way to just let Flourishes new Zinnia stamp set sing? I love to color and this floral is a dream to color!
All of the elements that I used are a part of the 123 Create Kit called Venice. I just love the rustic shades in this kit. After stamping my image on Flourishes Classic White with Memento Tuxedo Black, I did color my image up with Copic markers and used the Falling Leaves, Sunflower and Spruce Collections grouped by Flourishes. After I was done coloring and blending, I used the shades BG000 and BG0000 to highlight around my image. After matting it up, add some paper piercing, some silver cording and... ta da... done!
Here's a closeup, so you can see the paper piercing and also the small sentiment I added from the set as an accent on the side of my flower bunch....
And that, my friends, is it! Need a little inspiration? Check out these fine ladies creations to get those creative juices flowing!
