Good Things Come in Small Packages ~ Day 2

I'm back today with another card that was created with 

Pink & Main's Doodled Flowers 3x4 stamp set.

Today's  card is the second of 2 CAS cards created with this great little stamp set 

that has lots of great stamps as well as a wonderful sentiment stamp.

All of the stamps are perfectly sized for A2 card making.

Yesterday's card was fun card to create...

and this card was fun as well.

I started out by cutting the card stock pieces/mats...

then creating the background with yellow and ink pads and Clarity brushes.

I stamped the sentiment

and then stamped each flower and leaf to create this centered arrangement for flowers.

I "colored" each flower and leaf with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens

 then assembled the card.

The image layer was double matted...

first with purple metallic card stock...

and then a mat of gold metallic card stock.

This was the first time I have "colored" with these markers...

I've used them many times before...

for sparkly "highlighting" over an already colored image...

but I've never used them for completely coloring an image..or images.

I found then easy to use...

(the brush tip allowed me to apply liquid sparkly color with precision 

to even the smallest  of the images...

and...

the sparkly finish is beautiful.

*Note: I am NOT a sparkle lover...

but am loving the fine shimmery finish that these markers offer.

Here's a great close-up of the "sparkle" 

Pretty....isn't it?

It' almost like a sparkly dusty finish...

very fine...

but very visible.

You can also see the narrow 1/8" mat layers in this photo.

The flower centers needed a little something...

so I added a small little rhinestone to each center to give the card a little bit of zip!

This sweet little Pink & Main Doodled Flowers stamp set

is a great little stamp set...

and a great addition to my stamp collection.

It will be a stamp set that I reach for time and time again...

either to use a few of the stamps...

or to use all of them...to create a grouping or arrangement like this one.

Thanks for visiting...

I hope that this card has inspired you to create a floral card of your own!

PS....Thanks Dayna for gifting this great little stamp set to me!
