Be Like The Flower...

I made this card today for two challenges, Melanie's Tempted Sentiments Challenge and Gina K's anything but the Standard Card Size Challenge . The card size is 4.25 X6". When I started this card, I started with the image (flowers are from Melanie's A Year of Flowers for Gina K Designs, The Flower Pot is from Stamps By Judith) & then realized it wasn't going to fit on a standard card size if I used a sentiment with it. So I then remembered Gina had the card challenge, and made the adjustment to a larger card base. The flower image was colored in with Prismacolor Markers. I stamped the sentiment (from Melanie's Say it With Flowers for Gina K Designs) in Close to Cocoa on Marigold Morning (retired SU In-Color). The larger brown panel is stamped with the same flower image on Close to Cocoa (with Close to Cocoa ink). I used my Nestabilities Dies, Cuttlebug, SEI Brads, and Chocolate Chip Grossgrain to finish off the card.
