I colored my image with pencils and blended the colors in the leaves and left the flower part of this digi white. I cut out my image and created some dimension by adding an extra stamen pop-dotted into the middle. I added crystal effects to the entire image and then put a touch of stickles on top of the flower. This picture shows you the effect achieved which adds a special effect.
Martha Stewart - Loopy Around the Page Punch, Deep Lattice Border Punch, Large and Small butterfly punch
Sizzx-Corner Die Cut
Spellbiners- Lattice Pendant Die Cut, Lattice Border Die Cut
Paper - K & Company
Embellishments - Crystal Effects, Pearls, Stickles, Rhinestines, Ribbon, Versa Magic Oasis Green Chalk Ink.
Envelope Kit - 6 x 6 from Priscilla Styles found here.
This is a picture of the inside of the card. The edges of the some of the papers were inked with chalk ink described in detail above in the recipe. I just enjoyed making this so much! My Grandmother would have loved this card! She also had white and purple lilacs every spring - so stayed too for something I have in mind for that!!! LOL Lilacs are another fragrant flower. We used to have a bouquet in the house for as long as they bloomed.
Thanks for stopping by today. I really appreciate it. If you have a moment, I would love for you to let me know what you think. It would really make my day.
