An evening orchid…



I have a very feminine card to share today featuring the very pretty Flower Portrait Orchid from Simply B Stamps.


The image was part of a fundraiser set, to buy these you need to be part of the Simply B Stamps Fan Page.  I needed to make a pair of cards for a set of twins and I knew the delightful Flower Portrait images were going to be just perfect for them.

To make up this card I’ve followed the sketch over at Aud Sentiments, my card also features the required sentiment, stamped in Spun Sugar Distress Ink on a die cut frame.  I used die cuts for the other elements of the sketch too and I have four different die cuts on my card and also four flowers and four Swarovski crystals so I am entering the current challenge at Crafty Creations, where their theme is four of things.

At Coffee, Chocolate & Cards they are looking for flowers in your image, which I have in mine.  I’m actually fairly happy with how I coloured them too for a change.  I picked up the floral theme and decided to make my background with a stencil and some ink and embossing powder.  I wasn’t so good with inking my flowers, used my spray gun for the first time and am thinking I am going back to using my Copic air gun instead.
