We are nearing the end of Sale-A-Bration.  There are only 8 days left to get your FREE items with qualifying orders.  I tend to find products that I wish I had used sooner. Today’s card includes the Detailed Dogwood set.  And it is definitely one of those.

 

 

Stamps

This dogwood stamp from the Detailed Dogwood is perfect.  It looks just like a photograph.  All of the details of the branch and leaves are there.  The set includes several small companion images as well.  I added the little extra dogwood flower as part of my bling.

The sentiment used is not from the stamp set.  Actually there are no sentiments in this set. I went to the Annual Catalog and the Easter Bunny stamp set for the sentiment.  Although this dogwood image would be great for so many things.

Papers

There are no designer papers used on this card!  That is so unusual for me.  Instead I went to soft colors, which also is unusual.  It seemed the dogwood liked the softer colors for the petals and I went that direction.  Actually the Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam are two I rarely use, yet were perfect companions here.

Finishes

The coloring is another “different” for me.  I used Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen to color the image.  These are great for the softness.  The extra dogwood petal is from the Petal Park Punch.  One of the flowers in the punch matches the single dogwood.  I also added some of the Opaque Faceted Gems.  These are another FREE Sale-A-Bration item.  It is one you can choose for a $50.00 purchase.  They seemed to fit the colors well.  And to finish off, I added the Coral of the Bakers Twine 3 Color Pack from the Mini Catalog.  It is wrapped around a few times and then a separate trio of twine strings was used to simply tie a not around the wrapping.  An easy version of a bow.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!!
