I find one-layer cards intimidating, but I challenged myself with this one. I masked off the central area and ussed blending brushes to apply yellow and coral inks. (The colors look so much smoother in person, I don't know if the eye just smoothes the colors out or what). After removing the masking, I stamped the beautiful roses (Studio Katia) in Memento Black. I die-cut the sentiment from another piece of cardstock where coral ink was blended. Added a few gems for a little sparkle.
This card is for these challenges:
Beautiful Blossoms #42 -- florals
Crafter's Cafe -- blooms optional
Pick 3 Challenge #6 -- ink blending, sparkle, sentiment, yellow
CRAFT #782 -- anything goes
Pattie's Creations #243 -- use an image
Word Art Wednesday #756 -- anything goes
