CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CALIFORNIA GIANTS


SENDING HEALING HUGS



CRAFT-A-FLOWER: CALIFORNIA GIANTS

I used watercolor paper to create this flower so that I can play with monochromatic shades of blue. The ombre background was created using Distress oxide inks Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Salty Ocean. The Garden Trellis Cover die added more texture to the background. To finish off this card, I embossed the sentiment from the Sentiment Strips 2 stamp set. I used cool colors for this card so that everything will blend well together.
