The Card Concept Challenge #153-Loads of Lavender

Hello my stampy friends!

How is it going in your neck of the woods???

We are having a gorgeous spring. We do not have lavender in  North Carolina, but we have purple Wisteria. It is a big vine that grows all over our area this time of year and smells heavenly!

However, I wished we had Lavender, too.

 I was inspired by the beautiful lavender in our Inspiration photo to create my Clean & Layered style card:

 

 

 I didn't want to stamp the image in black ink and then color it.

Instead, I colored the stamp with Stampin Write Markers.

I placed the stamp into my Misti. I would then choose which color that I wanted to use and color one area at a time. This worked great!

I just love how it turned out!

I had this darling dragonfly die! I thought it made the perfect addition to my little flower garden!

Of course, I had to add some splatters!

And some sparkle with some Studio Katia Iridescent Crystals!

 The style of my card would be considered

CLEAN & LAYERED

~Clean lines

~Lots of Layers

~Designer papers, embossing

~Embellishments/accents

~Clean & Fresh looking

~Some colored images

~White space
