When I'm stuck for ideas I usually turn to my favourite stamp set to see if I can find inspiration - and today is no exception! I'm supposed to be designing a card for my lovely son's birthday on Monday but ideas are sadly missing!! I'm not sure that he would appreciate receiving this card:
This is the gerbera from Uniko Studio and I love it! This time I have stamped it in onyx black ink and then shaded it using a fine micron black pen - I've seen this technique used before but cannot for the life of me remember where!!
I'm going to enter the following challenges:
Uniko Studio Challenge 22 - Anything Goes with the optional twist of a masculine card.
Addicted to Stamps and more Challenge 148 - Clean and Simple
Enjoy!
WOW Elaine! This is amazing, the detail you have added to the petals is divine and in the monochrome colour scheme is elegant too. THANKS so much for sharing and for joining in at the Uniko Challenge too. Hugs Bev x

ReplyDeleteElaine, my gosh, this is so striking! I don't see why your son wouldn't love it. Guys like flowers, too! Aren't most of the gardeners and landscapers guys? Well, no matter, I love it and I think you are wizard with the micron pen!! Hugs, Darnell
