Fun with Joy Clair's Floral Joy Digital Stamp

Hello Everyone and Happy Summer,

I hope everyone is enjoying the first few days of summer.  I am so glad it arrived.  Along with summer comes so many beautiful flowers.  This week I decided to use the Floral Joy Digital Stamp Set.

Here it today's card:

To make this card, I downloaded the Floral Joy Digital Stamp and printed it onto a piece of 80# white card stock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it out.  I also printed the Cup of Joy Digital Stamp and fussy cut the "Thinking of You" sentiment out.  For the background, I used a piece of white 140# watercolor paper cut to 4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches.  I used Karin Markers to watercolor a plaid background.  I love to free hand background like this.  You could use any watercolors to make the plaid background.  I let the background dry and then accented it with a black marker to make it look more like a plaid.  I cut down the plaid background to 3 3/4 inches by 5 inches and adhered it to a piece of navy card stock measuring 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches.  I die cut the Pleated Lace Rectangle Die out using the third largest rectangle die in the set.  I used an X-acto knife to cut out the middle of the die cut.  I cut right along the inner dotted lines.  I used this piece as a frame on my card.  I glued the frame to my card.  I popped the flower image up with foam tape and placed it in the top left corner of the frame.  I  popped up the sentiment and placed it on the card.  I used a white gel pen to accent the berries and center of the flowers.  I glued the navy card panel to and A2 white card base.  I added blue NUVO drops after the card was assembled for an added accent.
