This week is Secretary's Week and tomorrow we are celebrating it at my school. I made this card for our wonderful office manager. We would be lost without her!I followed the most recent Mojo sketch challenge and also did the cuttlebug challenge which was to use two different CB folders and a nature theme on one card. This card I used the Woodgrain CB Folder and the Textile CB Folder (I think that is what it is called :)
I chose to use my new Cornish Heritage Farm stamp again. I love it. I coloured it with Copics BV00, 0, YG11, B00. I love these markers. I didn't at first but they sure are easy to use and the image seems to colour itself! I love how it looks watercoloured! Next time I will leave some of the flower uncoloured to show some white. 
I used my Hero Arts French Script in black on the back panel but it seemed too harsh, so I covered it with vellum, to soften it.

The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and I added some wee rhinestones to the card for a little bling. The sentiment is stamped on a key tag punch. I almost wish I had embossed it white, but I couldn't find my EB powder. I think I am all out.
Next time I am going to try embossing the flowers in gold!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed your Tuesday!

Lesley, it's gorgeous! i love how the vellum softens the effect. To get white space with your Copics, use your Copic blender pen. It takes colur away, so you can create a gradual disappearance of colour to white. Love your work!
