*********************************************

I was in the mood for coloring this time so I pulled out my markers and had lots of relaxing coloring time!  Check out the details below.

First, I die cut all of the dies for the Craft-A-Flower: African Daisy from 80# white cardstock.  I used my Copic markers to color all of the parts.  I layered each one to see where to add my darker shading on the first and second layers for a more dimensional look.  

Next I followed the included layering guide and adhered each layer to create my flowers.  I added a drop of glue to the top of the stems to adhere them to the flowers.

I created my card base by layering some kraft cardstock and white cardstock that I embossed with the Deck Planks 3D embossing folder.  The white layer was trimmed to 4" x 5-¼".  For the sentiment, I chose one from my very first Altenew set I bought (and still a much loved favorite) called Beautiful Day.  I stamped it in black ink, trimmed it and adhered it to the card with some foam tape.

For some sparkle, I swiped a clear glitter pen over the flower petals!  I wish photos showed it better!
