52 Card Challenge 2014 - Week 45

The inspiration for this week's card is all things botanical.   Please see Kool Kitty Musings Blog for details of the challenge.

Here is my card:

This card was the first time I tried Brushos on water colour paper, thank you to Linda for sharing her inks. The stamps are from Paper Artsy, Joffy collection which I have tried before. I also used a fine black sharpie and a white gel pen to add detail. It was interesting to see what patterns developed when the powder inks met the water on the paper!

"I loved the look of this illustration and well, there are so many botanical aspects to it that you could incorporate into cardmaking. From autumnal leaves, winter greenery and berries, colourful spring flowers and delicate summer blooms. So much to choose from!"
