Happy Tuesday, everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous Labor Day holiday and that you were able to enjoy a long weekend!

I'm very excited to be hosting my first Timeless Tuesday challenge!  Today my challenge is to create a mini card!  Just make a smaller version , no larger than 4" x 3", of what you would normally make.

For my card I used the Orchids stamp set, and my sentiment on the Maya Road Vintage Kraft Flag Pin is from the Passion Flower stamp set.  I embossed the front of my card base and rubbed over the raised portion with Ranger Frayed Burlap ink using an ink blending tool.  I also created a background and border from a few die cuts and added some Ivory Jute, tied into a bow. I colored my image with Copic markers, cut it out, and mounted it with some foam tape.

Here are the Copic collections that I used:

Absolutely Stunning!! Bravo on your first post, Broni!! It's perfect and you've picked the perfect challenge for us :) I love the way you colored your flowers in, I have the hardest time with iris's, but you make it look easy ;)

I actually had a hard time sizing down my card, but I love a good challenge so I loved it :)
