Next is a beautiful set from Rupa Shevde, called Mehndi Wishes. These wonderful images are Mehndi art inspired and just so beautiful! I stamped the bird image directly on Kraft card stock and colored with Copics. I used a grey Copic to add a drop shadow. The border was created by tracing around a rectangle Nestabilities die with a black marker. Then I stamped the curvy flower image, using Memento London Fog ink, to create a decorative element in the corners.

I stamped the Forget Me Not flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I began my coloring with B00 Copic marker.
Added B23.
Blended with B21.
Then added B26 to deepen the shading.
For the branch, I used E27 and E35. After coloring, I cut out the branch.
I cut Pure Luxury Ivory card stock with the largest of the Labels 24 Nestabilities and sponged with Memento Cantaloupe ink.
Another piece of Pure Luxury Ivory was cut using Lacy Circle Nestabilities and also sponged with Memento Cantaloupe ink.
The card base is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 and made with Pure Luxury Sweet Corn card stock. I adhered the layers with Pop Dots and added a satin ribbon bow. The sentiment is also from Stately Flowers 3 and the accent scoring was done using my Scor-Buddy.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
