A 'Genuine Ideas' card .....

I used a 5 x 7 inch whte card base. Started with a green watercolour background on 300gsm smooth HP card. I then stamped this with a background collage stamp and leaves (AAll & Create). The main image n Archival sepia and the leaves in green.

I then decorated the background with gold pen & Posca markers. I then selectively stamped the floral image on whte card with Versafine black ink, trimmed out and coloured with Ecoline Brushmarkers in bright colours as a contrast.

I then selectively added some Bedazzles in blues & greens with Glossy Accents to various elements adding a stem for the flower at the same time. The flower was then mounted as shown on foam pads.

The sentiment (Tim Holtz) was stamped in Versafine black ink, matted on pink card ad added on more foam pads.

I then matted the watercolour background twice....once on re-cycled kraft packaging and then on pink card...edging with violet Versamagic chalk ink and adding to the card base.  Three pink/violet sequins were added to finish....
