Dolly showed up with a beautiful set of images from Altenew for me ... Fragrant Florals. It included matching stamp, die, embossing folder, and layering stencils. I made the card above using just the embossing folder and layering stencils and I'm looking forward to playing soon with the stamp and die! :)
After I finished sponging through the stencils onto the embossed image, I took a SU! marker (early espresso) and drew in the branches and stamens. And I used diluted distress ink (Mowed Lawn) and a fine paint brush to draw in the embossed veins on the leaves. These little additions made a big difference. :)
Thank you Dolly, for this beautiful set. I am going to have loads of fun making many cards with it!! And thank you for the visit, I had such a great time!! :)

This is a beautiful set of flowers with stamps, stencils EF and dies and a wonderful gift from Darnell, and you have made a gorgeous card using the EF and stencils, and the added bit of detail with the brown marker on the stems and stamens, and the green diluted DI for the veins on the leaves finish it brilliant. Darnell has some lovely photos of you and also with Christine and Susan, and all the sweet doggies too...glad you had a great time together. x
Having time with you, Susan and Christine might be the highlight of anyone's Spring, Loll! Darnell is so gosh-darned fun IRL - having three whole days would be such a blast!
I love the gift she brought to you, and this premier is stunning with all the extra details you've added!

Loll, beautiful card you have shared that you made from Darnell's gift. I have that stencil and it is a beautiful one. How fun to have spent 3 days with Darnell and 2 with Christine and Susan.
What a stunner, Loll! I'm amazed that the flowers are embossed - they have such dimension that I thought they were layered onto the base card. The addition of your pen and paintwork also makes a significant impact. Your crafty visit sounds like a lot of fun - Darnell is a riot!
I hope you are keeping well.
Hugs,

It is always a fun time with crafting friends. I know you all had a fabulous time. Your card is beautiful. I like how you added the little details with the markers after stenciling. TFS
How fun to craft with friends in person! I bet that was a hoot, plus you made a gorgeous card! Love the colors you used, Loll and look forward to seeing more of what you do with the set (it's one of my personal favorites).
What a gorgeous card. I bet it was loads of fun having Darnell visit as well.
How terrific that you could gather with friends for a fun few days, Loll, especially those friends. Your gift of Fragrant Florals is priceless and your attention to details on the card makes it spectacular.

This is a stunner Loll, summer in a card. and there's so much dimension from the EF. I read Darnell's post about her visit, I'm sure you gals had a hoot! :)
