I stamped this image using Memento London Fog. It gives a soft image when colored with Copic Markers. Once the coloring was complete it was stamped again with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed silver. It was cut down using a stitched rectangle die and matted onto a quarter panel of black cardstock. The panel was then adhered to a top folding cardbase.
For visual interest, Studio Katia Silver Crystals were scattered around the flower bouquet.
The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of black cardstock with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed silver. It was cut with a sentiment banner die and adhered at the bottom left of the card with foam tape.
When the card was done I just didn't like how muted the purple colors I had chosen looked, so I pulled out some darker purple Copic Markers and carefully colored it again, making sure I didn't go over the heat embossed outline, since it can ruin the tips of your markers. I liked it much better, but I've included both below so you can judge which one you like best.
