Orchid Plant, Just for You.

Good Evening  All,

Hope life is treating you well.  The Christmas celebrations seem a long time ago now.  Everyone is back in their usual routines again.   The weather here today has been quite nice with the sun popping it's head out from behind the clouds every now and again and the sky has been blue today too!!   I was beginning to think grey was going to be the permanent colour lol!!   I got all my chores done this morning and have had a lovely afternoon crafting making cards for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts.  The card I would like to share with you this evening uses their Orchid Decoupage Stamp Set,  Daisy Diamond Embossable and my favourite product - yes, you guessed - Sparkle Medium !  colour Lavender.  So let's get started shall we ?

Make a white base card and onto this matt a smaller piece of lavender paper.   Cut a piece of blue card slightly smaller than the lavender and lay the Embossable  on top.   Spread the Sparkle Medium across the Embossable  using the spatula.   Remove the Embossable and leave the image to dry.   When dry, matt this blue card onto the lavender paper.   

    
Stamp the image onto white card and colour with Promarker Pens.   Stamp out again five times more using a black ink pad.   Colour and 3D onto main image.   Matt this onto a piece of white card and then onto some lavender paper.         

   
Cut out and emboss the X Cut 'ornate frame' die from white card and glue to the base card in a diamond shape.   Next glue the main 3D image onto the frame.  Add four square lavender gemstones to the ornate frame corners.  Well that's it folks all done.   The beautiful lavender sparkle medium does not show up very well on the photo but in real life so to speak, it really glitters.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and I hope you get some ideas and inspiration for your own card making.    I do hope you will pop back soon,  I'll be back  in a few days with another card.  Take good care of yourselves  until my next post.

                                                               Love and rainbows,

                                                                 Hugs  Jennifer xx
