Orchid Trio. My October 2014 Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog Project.

Hi Folks,

Today sees the beginning of another new month and the start of a new challenge over at  the Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog.     Our theme this month is 'anything goes,'  so come on, give it a go!  we would love you to join   us in this month's challenge.

You could win a voucher worth £40 to spend on fabulous Imagination Craft's products.  NB.  only projects using Imagination Craft's products are eligible for the top prize   £40   but you could still win top 3 and there is a lovely badge for your blog.  Well it's time to share my inspiration for this month's challenge, hope you like it.

Make a base card fron white card, approximately 41/4" x 8".   Cut another piece of white card approx.
3" x 61/2" and lay the panel stencil on top and spread the diamond Sparkle Medium over the design.

    
Carefully remove the stencil and leave to dry.   Cut a border using the Martha Stewart heart punch  and fix to a  purple paper panel and glue the white stencilled card, onto the purple panel,   then fix this to the base card.  

   
Paint over the stencilled design using the Silkies - lilac mist and lavender lace for the flowers and apple lace and emerald gold for the stems.

  
Glue three of the purple hearts, left over after punching out the heart border, onto the card front.


  
Add a ribbon bow to the  top of the orchid stems.   Lastly, glue 4 purple triangles, one to each corner of the base card.

             
I do hope my card has inspired you to join in the challenge  with us, we do love to see your entries.

Please pop over to the rest of the Design Team for more inspiration as they have all been very busy making some beautiful projects.

That's all from me for now folks.  Enjoy the rest of your week and take good care of yourselves and many thanks for visiting my blog and leaving some lovely comments, they are all appreciated.

                                                                Love and Rainbows,

                                                                  Hugs   Jennifer xx.
