Orchids

Can you tell how much I love flowers? {smiles} This month, the Flourishes Challenge, Bring Back Beautiful is all about Mother Nature.  When I was young, my aunt and uncle lived in a huge estate with the most beautiful flower garden.  My uncle loved orchids and I believe he had every species of orchids existing in the country at the time! 

So, no surprise here, that I'm using the Flourishes Orchids set for my card...

This was surely the most challenging floral image for me to colour.  I struggled trying to make it look right but I think it worked out ok ;-)  I was watching the TV and trying to colour at the same time.

The Copic markers I used are: Orchids (RV11, R81, R83, R85, YR21), Stem (YG21, YR21, G40, G43, G46), Background (BG10 & Colourless Blender).  The orchids image was cut using Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Rectangles and sponged with Memento Summer Sky around the edges.  The sentiment was stamped and cut with MFT Oval Stax 2 and sponged with Memento New Sprout.  The patterned paper and the blue cardstock were cut using the Spellbinders Grand Labels Twenty Three.  The patterned paper and trim are from Webster's Pages.

I'm also submitting this to the Stamping Sisters in Christ challenge #140 (just made it!).

Have a beautiful Sunday!
