Addicted to Stamps & More - Challenge #127

Hi there - Today is my first post as a designer at Addicted to Stamps & More and I am so excited to be joining the very talented team!

The theme for the challenge this week is 'Make your Mark' and for my card
 today I have used a copic multi-liner marker to outline all my flowers and leaves after stamping them as I really wanted them to stand out. 

To create my fun border I ruled a pencil line to follow and then cut some of the flowers/leaves out before popping up my panel with some foam dots. Finally I added some ink splatters for a little interest.


Our Sponsor for the challenge this week is:


Our lucky winner will receive a $20 Gift Certificate

Supplies: Cas-ual fridays stamps:Truth is, Wplus9 stamps: spring blooms

I just really love this design! I think the border effect is just awesome! Wonderful colour combo, the black just brings the flowers to pop more and I am sure the black lines made flowers to stand out even more. You are pretty amazing too! :)

What a fab card Karen, love the way you popped the flowers up against the black panel. The added touch of outlining the ones not cut away was genius. :)
