Hello friends, first of all wish you all a happy new year!
I had been missing in action for last few weeks, as I had a surgery last month and had taken a much needed break from crafting as well as all my social medias. I did tiny bit of coloring and a whole lot of illustrations though.
Today's card is inspired by the illustrations I did inspired by the pictures I clicked a few days back.
Macau has beautiful flowers planted all across the city, this year the main focus is Chrysanthemums and Cosmos. I used the cosmos as my inspiration here, and of course I was tickled to color and see how it would look.
I illustrated a lot of cosmos, used one on todays card.
First a few pictures I clicked.
For the card, I have used a solo cosmos flower, and repeated it and layered it. Printed it off and used Prismacolor pencils to color, even the colors are inspired by the flower in the picture.
I then used Hickory smoke DI to ink blend the clouds.
I added some silver glitter strips to the card top and bottom.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
A few jewels to finish it off.

TIME OUT Challenge
The flowers are the major part of Macau, every 3 months we have a new variety planted and there are many enthusiasts like me who wait to capture the pictures of these. This is one thing I look forward to.
