Bohemian Garden

The Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge was the perfect opportunity to break-out my new stamps and die cuts.  Here's the Inspiration:

I love the sherbet like colors and the all over pattern in the bottom right picture … I also liked the touch of metallic glimmer.

I started by masking & stamping the Mondo Magnolia on white cardstock to create my background.

Next I die cut lots of Bohemian Garden flowers from designer paper scraps in the fun colors from the inspiration photo and then stamped the bloom.  I ended-up almost covering my entire stamped background, but I loved the effect.  I used a metallic sparkle pen to color in the centers of the flowers.

I finished with a Mondo Magnolia sentiment and another small Bohemian Garden Flower using this week's Nacho Average Challenge Sketch.
