Bold Flowers Card


I colored the flowers with just two Tombow Water-based markers.  One is light yellow and the other peach.  They look much darker when colored on the sand-colored cardstock.  



The above photo shows true colors, but the first photo shows the lovely golden shine of the Champagne embossing powder.  



Supplies:

Gina K Designs Birthday Blessings Stamp Set (Birthday Essentials Kit)
Versamark Ink
Recollections Champagne Embossing Powder
Gina K Designs Sandy Beach cardstock
Vellum and Kraft Cardstock
Tombow water-based markers

This card is submitted to the following challenge(s):
