Here's my card
The background paper for the card was made using my watercolour crayon technique and Neocolor 11 crayons in shades of orange and yellow. I stamped a flower on the paper with Dried Marigold Distress ink. I stamped a border design across the bottom in sepia ink and trimmed the edge with deckle scissors.
The frilly flower is made using the same technique on punched circles of card which were then trimmed with deckle scissors and inked. I then made several cuts in each and scrunched it a little to make it crinkle. I stuck them together with a button in the centre.
I stamped the main image by Lost Coast Designs in sepia ink and coloured some parts in with crayons. I added further detail with H20 paints.
I mounted the background paper on a square of card stamped around the edges only with a small flourish stamp in Dried Marigold and Fired Brick Distress inks.
I assembled the card as shown adding further text and some tiny butterflies (Hobby Art) on a dark brown card blank.
