a little note with a flourish

 Hello there fellow crafters. I have  CAS offering for you today. I needed a thank you card and didn't have a lot of time so  I came up with this.


I stamped the leafy flourish in black archival ink. Then I added the bird in flight and the little sentiment. All these stamps were free with a magazine.


Then I added some colour to the leaves and flowers. I used distress markers and a waterbrush. The leaves are coloured with twisted citron and the flowers with fossilized amber and wilted violet.


I then went round the card with a black micron pen and drew squiggly lines as shown. i coloured them in with the same markers.


I also added some clear wink of stella to flowers but this is really difficult to photograph.


I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Less is more - one layer - add a flourish
CASology - open
Sweet stampin' challenge - flowers

    Lovely elegant card. I love all the open space and the tiny sentiment. And well done with your freehand border, I'm too scared to do anything freehand lol!
    Thanks for sharing with us.
