Bloom

Blue Ribbon #6

Embellishing my cards with natural elements always appeals to me . . . 

 

.  . . I pick up all sorts of twigs when I walk my dog Tater and I really love to paint them with a metallic ink which makes them look like intricate twists of metal.  This one goes nicely with the background which was done with a layered stencil.  My card was submitted as part of the Artsy category, so I sort of cut loose with unusual, moody colors.
