I'm Here for You, Always

When PTI released the Year Of Flowers: Gladiolus set last month, I knew it was a must-have. I love these flowers and was so happy to add these gorgeous stamps to my collection. The stamp set also includes some beautiful sentiments as well. On this card, I used the "I'm Here for You, Always" sentiment.
I stamped the image on white cardstock with Memento Black ink. I then colored the image with Copics and added some stickles accents to the flower centers for some sparkle. If you know me, you know I need sparkles on my cards. :-)
Next, and this is my new favorite technique, I stippled in some sky and grass- because, well, the white background just wasn't doing it for me today!! LOL. I used two large stipple brushes, one for the sky and one for my grass. I used Memento Bahama Blue for the sky and Pear Tart for the grass, and just gently inked up the stipple brushes and brushed the white cardstock to create a sky background and grass.
I tied some PTI New Leaf Bakers Twine around the bottom of the card and rounded two opposing corners and adhered the image to a PTI Hawaiian Shores card base.
Thanks for stopping by!!
