So Grateful for Apothecary Art

I’ve been playing around with my Labels Collection Framelits since they arrived in the mail a couple weeks ago. I’ve cut them out and then run them through an embossing folder. I’ve painted them with acrylic paints, embossed them and chipped away at the acrylic paint with a sanding block. While I have been excited about each of these creations, none of them have made it to the front of a card. Until today.

Today’s card uses the Framelits with The Apothecary Art stamp set.

I stamped the image in Early Espresso and then colored in the petite flowers with my Stampin’ Write Markers. As I learned from a Stampin’ Up! tutorial on YouTube, these markers can easily give amazing texture to an image by layering from soft to dark. I started by coloring all the flowers in Pink Pirouette, then colored with Pretty in Pink starting at the center of each petal and coloring about half of each petal. I then add a small touch of Regal Rose in the center of each. Very easy with a beautiful return! Here’s a close up:
