And I actually finished a card! Hurray!! And even more important, I like how it turned out. I hope you do too!
All stamps and materials by Stampin'Up!
Stamps: Inspired by Nature
Cardstock: Soft Suede, More Mustard, Sahara Sand cardstocks, and Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper
Ink: More Mustard, Always Artichoke, and Soft Suede Markers (yes, we have In Color Markers this time!!)
Accessories: Crop-a-dile, Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelets, More Mustard 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Big Shot with the Ovals Originals Die, Sponge quarters, and Dimensionals
The small portion of the stamp used was colored with markers. Then it was spritzed with water and stamped. This was done twice to get the two Brown-Eyed Susans for the main image. Spritzing with water softened and darkened the images nicely.
The sentiment tag was also colored with markers to keep the same colors, and then 'huffed' on to stamp. It took awhile to create, but all in all I'm happy with the results. Hope this inspires you to get out your markers and give them a good workout!
So, it's back to finish the other partial card that's laying around. I'm sure I can come up with the finishing touches that one needs after a little refreshment (maybe chocolate, he he). Now don't tell anybody, 'cuz I'm really trying to lose weight! It'll be our little secret, OK?
See you soon...

This is gorgeous! Love the dsp with the flowers you used - they really compliment each other. I do the same exact thing when I stamp - I always have about 3 start-up cards that hit the waste basket before I get a great idea :)
