I have wanted to make an old-fashioned botanical "copperplate illustration" for some time. I put it in quotes, because I am using stamps and not doing any copperplate or other drawing. That style just speaks to me.
There were a couple of challenges that I followed for guidance, mainly because copperplate botanicals are a vast subject and I have a vast amount of stamps. I also included a couple of printed papers in my composition. I stamped a nice selection of images and embossed all with clear embossing powder.
The finished card was kept to a tight color palette of olive and berry (with some variation). I looked for a way to include "a cluster of three" as prompted in one challenge. Can you spot it?

Entering in the challenges that made this stamped and collaged card happen:
Color Hues: #TCH#68 Olive and Berry
Beautiful Blossoms Challenge: #9 AG flowers/ optional moodboard - I chose to go less tropical than the mood board
TioT: Pretty papers
Use Your Stuff: #489 A three item cluster
Festive Friday: Floral delights
What a pretty and fun collage of items. I love the way the dots bring your eyes back in so you can focus on the flowers, butterflies, etc... Thanks for joining us at Color Hues for our Olive and Berry challenge.
