I die cut the flowers on white paper and then stamped with black ink. 

Using the Koi paints, I created the background.

After I started arranging the flowers I didn’t like the white background of the flowers so I sponged ink to tone down the bright white.

NOTE: In all my years of card-making, this is the first time I’ve entered anything in a challenge. I know, I know, I went a little overboard but this one called out to me!  I should have entered this in the Black Challenge a few weeks ago.
