Prayers to You and Your Family

I've got another card featuring a previously unused set from my stash.  I picked up this floral stamp set from Hero Arts several months back.  I've been eyeing it since it came out, and finally pulled the trigger, but does that mean that I actually used the stamp set I had been coveting for nearly a year?  Of course not!

Anyway, this set finally got it's day in the sun.

I stamped the flowers and leaves along the top of the panel using Altenew inks,

I wanted some extra depth/dimension for the flowers, so I just went in with a Copic marker and added a little line on the inside of each of the petals.  It really makes the image pop and almost gives it the look of a multi-step flower.  Super easy to do!  

To set the stamped images off even more, I used some gray Copics for a shadow.  I used C3 just next to the flowers and then added C1 as a second layer as well as around the leaves.

The card was finished off with sentiments from Hero Arts' Prayers stamp set.
