On a 2.75″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White card stock stamped the flower post with Basic Black ink.

Colored the end pot with a Lavender Lace Marker.  Colored the flowers in the pot and the shadow down the right side of the post with an Almost Amethyst marker.

Colored the next post and flowers with with an More Mustard marker.  Added Pumpkin Pie marker to the middle petals of the flowers and to create the shadow on the pot.

Colored the next pot and the tulip with a Ruby Red marker.  Added Bravo Burgundy marker to both the tulip and the pot to create a shadow on the right side of them.

Colored the leaves of the flowers with an Old Olive marker.   Colored the last pot with a Certainly Celery marker and then added Old Olive for the shadow on the pot’s right side.

Decided I wanted a darker shadow on the More Mustard pot so I added Really Rust marker to the right side of it.

Colored over all of the pots and flowers with a Versamark marker and heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Masked the top of the card stock with a post it note and sponged Baja Breeze ink on the unmasked card stock.

Sponged Not Quite Navy ink right at the post it note edge to create a shadow for the pots.

Took the post it note mask off and put a new one on to mask the bottom of the card stock.  I masked a bit of the white above the Not Quite Navy to create a  white border behind the pots.  Sponged Creamy Carmel ink on the unmasked area of the card stock.

Sponged Close to Cocoa ink at the right side of the card stock.

Removed the mask and added White gel pen to the buds on the 3rd pot and the center of the flowers on the fourth pot.

Used my Big Shot die cut machine and the Dot texture plate emboss two More Mustard panels. 

Brayered More Mustard over both panels to make the embossing pop more.

Assembled my card and added ribbon and silver brads.  Here you have the finished card that measures 5.25″ square.

May your day be filled with blooms!

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle
