Lili of the Valley challenge

Hi there, today I’m sharing the card I made for the Lili of the Valley challenge where we have to use our favourite colour combo – no guesses that mine is pink and yellow then.

17th Feb fave colour combo

It’s another of those cards made months and months ago for a magazine commission.  The image and sentiment are both from Lili of the valley, the papers are Wild Rose Studio and the flowers are cherry blossoms and 15mm roses from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the 25mm organza ribbon.

100% Sweet.....

Good Morning!
Today I have a card featuring alot of gorgeous
Wild Orchid Craft goodies!! All my favorite stuff!!!


I don't think I can make a card nowadays without this gorgeous
I usually crinkle it up but this time I just added some
Marshmellow glimmer mist to it and left as is. To get
it to look that full I just layered 2 bows on top of each other.
The flowers also have gimmer mist on them. I received my DT
kit and it had the new GORGEOUS Paper trellis roses!!
They are even prettier in real life ~ like something that is all over
a wedding cake!! Oh I love them! LOL


These flowers were made by layering some of the new summer blooms
in white with the 15mm pale blue roses. As you can see I had
to throw in some pretty pearls!


Well thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you all have a wonderful week-end and
a fabulous Valentines Day!
:)Kathy

Twisted Easel Card!


 
Hello there! I would like to show you a little twist on the easel card.  That is exactly what it is called "Twisted Easel Card".  I first saw this on Marlene's blog and found this video tutorial HERE.  This is a Valentine card for my daughter, who made sure I knew she expected a card from me. haha! 
I have loaded this card up with all my favorite Wild Orchid Craft items. Here are the items I used:


 Don't you love the new color of this Hellebores?  Such a soft, sweet pink.  I used some leftover pieces of the Guipure lace as accents.  I don't throw anything away!

You can see that I made the bottom piece a pocket and tucked a message to Alyssa in it.  There just wasn't enough room for a good message.  You pull it out with the seam binding ribbon.

Here is another view so you can see how it folds.
I colored my sweet Hanglar with distress inks and the papers are Making Memories - Je t'adore.  I used a Magnolia Doohickey die also.

Thank you for visiting the Wild Orchid Crafts blog today!

Hugs, Dena
