Christmas Cards 2021-Mar-04

Hi!

I seldom create card without stamping, but today is one of those days that I do.  I used mainly pattern paper, added a die, and some personal touches such as white paint splatter, and highlights using stickles and Wink of Stella.

Challenges:

Glitter orchid

Hi everyone:

Enjoying your week so far?   I am having a good one!  And I am very happy to share a card I made for my DM's birthday.  It's doesn't have any stamping on the card front, I am going write in the inside.

The orchid flower is cut using Hero Arts Orchid Cutting Set by Lia on glitter paper.  And I use Copic markers to darken some areas and added the veins.

Here's a couple close ups:
