Mark’s Finest Papers


This is going to be my Mother's day card for my DMIL.
This is one of the images from the new set "Bearded Iris". This set can be very feminine and perfect for Mother's Day.
I stamped the image 3 times with Palette Noir black ink, colored with Copic markers then line cut the images. I layered some of the petal parts and used pop-up dots to raised the image onto a white oval Nestie shape die cut cs and then layered that over an scalloped oval Nestie die cut on black cs.
The dp is from 7 gypsies/gypsy market variety pack.
I distresses and sponged on black around the edges and mounted to a black mat.
My embellishment on this card is a threaded black ribbon with a pretty acrylic flower.
Happy hopping and good luck to every one, Nicky
