Over on Instagram one of the talented card makers that I follow is Alex Syberia and she has been challenging us to dot colouring with our alcohol markers. So today’s card is totally out of my comfort zone and using a technique that I obviously need a lot more practice with, but I am really excited to keep working with this technique as I absolutely love Alex’s cards.

Hi friends. Sorry for the radio silence, I am currently battling illness. I have antibiotics so all should be better soon. The month has flown by and it’s now reminder time at The Flower Challenge: Monochrome. So either black, white,grey or one colour or shades of one colour. For this card I have gone for gold with white and vellum. Lots of heat embossing of Simon Says Stamp products using their Folk dance stencil for the background with images, dies and sentiment from their lovely spring set. Some white nuvo drops were added for accents. I hope you like the card and will join us at The Flower Challenge.

Next I stamped the…
