Make My Monday week 50

The FLORAL challenge theme this week on Make My Monday is wild flowers and/or grasses - my thoughts turned immediately to alcohol ... INKS that is and I took my box of inks and some glossy card out of hibernation and set to work creating a suitable background.  This was then overstamped with archival ink using various stamps from Chocolate Baroque, the large white flower head was inked with Adirondack snowcap and embossed with white detail powder. Matching backing paper (what you can see of it) was printed from CB Essence of Nature CD.  I think I will leave the front of this card without a message.

    This is terrific & I love the contrast of the black with the white against those greens. The little bees are a lovely touch.

    What a really beautiful scene you've created Val! I love the background and the black and white grasses and seed heads look wonderful against it.
