Lily of the Valley MMSC41

Edited to Add:  So honored to have this card to be chosen for the Midnight Madness Gold Star Award!

Hi all, Been playing with the new Fred She Said flower images again.  This time with the Lily of the Valley.  I also entered this card in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #41, you can see the details here and the sketch below. 

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.

Tracey made it hard to decide which flower to play with next as there are more awesome flowers in this new release that you can see at the Fred She Said site here.  The Fred She Said Blog Hop runs through tomorrow so if you didn't get a chance to hop through the beautiful creations that the Design Team made with the new flowers then stop by the post here.You still have a chance to win a $20.00 gift certificate to the Fred She Said store! 

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
