THROUGH THE PURPLE HAZE - CHALLENGE NO 98 - FLOWERS


Good morning everyone out there - here I am posting my next card for the TTPH challenge and this time we want you to use 'Flowers'!  Now as you can see from 'some' of my previous posts I just adore flowers so this was a very easy one for me to do .. and ..  I was given this absolutely amazingly beautiful digi to use.  Isn't she cute?


 Check out the embossing on the side of my card - I found my chalks!!!  I usually use DI's but wanted a very soft look so, after a bit of a hunt around, I found my chalks - on the shelf where I'd stored them - duh!!  There's just a faint smidge on the flowers and a little more around the edge of the silver matted layer.  I made the three central flowers using 'hydrangea' petals from WOC (the stamens were in my stash from years ago).

Ingredients

7" x 7" white card blank - Anna Marie Designs
6" x 6" embossed card front from Craftwork Cards
Digi - Whimsical Rose Sprite from Aurora Wings

Beautiful pretty in pink coloring of the precious Rose Sprite and I love how she's framed in the filigree window. The embossing and the rose spray and greenery are wonderful details.
