Clematis Flourish

I made this card following the sketch for Indigo Blu's challenge blog.  This was the sketch:

And my card:

I used Worn Lipstick Distress Ink for the background, with a bit of Vintage Photo and Evergreen Bough on the corners to give it a bit more of a 'distressed' look.  I stamped with a bit of bubble wrap in Evergreen Bough on the background for the same effect.

The green piece of card is made using Evergreen Bough Distress Ink with Indigo Blu's 'Floral Swirl' stamp done in gold embossing powder over the top.  The made image is stamped using Indigo Blu's 'Clematis Flourish' stamp which I coloured in using my new favourite craft item, Spectrum Noir blending pencils.  The background of my main image was created on my Gelli plate, it doesn't show up well in the photos but I used Worn Lipstick distress ink with Old Paper over the top, I scrunched up a piece of paper and pressed it into the Gelli plate before taking the Old Paper ink off so it left a bit of a pattern on the card.

I used some Creative Expressions bakers twine tied into a bow at the corner with a flower made from Tonic Petal Pairs punches in the center.  Finally I finished the card with a few pearl gems in the top corner.
