"Fresh" Flowers

I've had this Penny Black Stamp single set aside with a few other stamps

in a little pile...next to my worktable...

(aka..my to-do pile)

That's the place where I put stamp sets that are at the top of my card making to-do list

This Penny Black stamp single called Fresh 

was next up on the list.

How does a stamp set become "next up" you ask?

It catches my eye...

that's all...

It's that simple!

I should also add...

I own a whole lotta Stampin Up alcohol markers...

purchased when they first came out.

They were used once..and never used again..

So I took those babies out of the drawer..

and used them to color this image...

PS..I like the markers

Why have I not used them more often?

???

 I chose colors that would create pink-coral blooms and buds

You can see the pink/coral color variation in this photo...

The print used for both mat layers are from a really pretty DCWV 12 x 12 paper pad

(don't ask me which paper pad....I have no clue!)

This card seems like a good match for some twine...

so..I knotted up some twine

chose some sequins.....

and secured both to the image layer.

Here's a close up...

The Stampin Up alcohol markers 

allowed me to create the coral-pink blooms that I had hoped to create

with some nice color shading.

I really like this Penny Black image..

I'm thinking that I'd like to create another card with it one day soon...

with yellow blooms...

Thanks for visiting...

and have a wonderful Sunday!
