Edited to Add: So honored to have this card to be chosen for the Midnight Madness Gold Star Award!
I printed the lily of the valley image onto watercolor paper and used my Tombow markers to watercolor it. Then as I did with the pansy teacup image, I cut out a base image and then layered 4 layers of the flowers and leaves to give it dimension. Since the flowers were small I used a thin picture mount double-sided foam tape so that the layers would be a bit closer. The little white blossoms have a Stickles sparkle that draws your attention and is really diamond-like in real life.
The sketch as you can see has three panels with some "stitching" and I did that with my metallic gel pens. Also it has the button accents which was something that I haven't reached for as an embellishment much. So I found some pretty green tone buttons out of my stash and added some white, cream and gold pearls and of course I couldn't go without a green crystal or two! I also added the button and pearls to the lily image instead of a bow that would have covered up too much of the image. But, I have to use ribbon, right, so I added the little ribbon tabs under the main oval. And the base green cardstock layers is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.
I still have two cards finished that I will post this week also! Thanks for all the very encouraging comments on my projects, y'all keep me challenged! Until later,
Shalom,
Sonya
