This week,
for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the theme is Add a Little Texture. I did my best to add layers, and added some of the texture with Delta Texture Magic, a Crafter's Workshop mini bricks stencil, and a pallet knife. I tried to make it make it look more like stone by smoothing and then pulling up on the knife to make it pucker. I hope it looks like a wall with flowers cascading over.
The designer paper if from the Lauderdale collection by Basic Grey. I took part of the piece and fussy cut flowers, which I popped up. The empty areas were filled in with Prima flowers, and pearls. Some of the flowers got a bit of extra texture with a pearl pen. Even my card base has a raised dot texture. The sentiment is from the February KOM for Unity, which is stamped with Island Indigo ink, and I finished up with a lace bow.
Thanks for stopping by, and I wish you a fun weekend.

The texture - and color - look great on this! Almost looks real. I love all the bright colors you used with it too. A VERY pretty card!
