Just Because!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Saturday!

Here is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge on SCS, IC175, as well as for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge, TECC63!!

I was so inspired by this Floral Collage Wall Print from the Grandin Road site!! I LOVE the colors of the flowers, so that is what I tried to re-create!!

For my card, I used this GORGEOUS bunch of flowers from the newly released Fresh Flowers set by Taylored Expressions. I stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice White Cardstock (my absolute FAVORITE paper to color with my Copics!). I colored all the flowers with my Copic Markers, and added some highlights to certain spots with my white gel pen. In real life, this image really POPS!!!

I added piercing all around my image, and for the sentiment, I used "Just Because" from the Branching Out set from Taylored Expressions. I punched it with my 1 3/8 Inch Circle Punch and layered it with black punched from 1 1/2 Inch Circle Punch. I then made 7 ribbon loops of sheer polka dot ribbon from Michaels, and arranged them behind the circle to make it pop!

Both my Real Red and Cool Caribbean panels were run through the Cuttlebug with the Harlequin Texturz Background from SU!

I finished off my card with three black Tiny Twinkles in two opposite corners. I love the little sparkle these add to a card! There is a special going on right now at Taylored Expressions with the Tiny Twinkles! You can click right HERE to check it out...it's an awesome deal!!
