Spring Card for LCPtoC Flora and Fluffy Tails event!

Hello!
Today I'm sharing a card I have made for Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's Spring Event called Flora and Fluffy Tails!


Here's my card using the following materials
Lost Coast Designs Doodle Flowers rubber stamps
White and black cardstock
Tuxedo Black, Lady Bug and Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink
Crimson Red, Rouge and Spanish Orange Prismacolor pencils
Pop dots


 I stamped the flowers twice onto white cardstock, first in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the second in Lady Bug and Rhubarb Stalk.  I used the mixed coloured one for my background and selected some flowers from the black inked one to colour and fussy cut out which were then layered onto the background with pop dots.  The flowers were then adhered to a black folded card made from cardstock.
