Pink and Green and some WONDERFUL, EXCITING NEWS!!!!!



For this card I used Bazzill for the base and all double matting and the DP is by Colorbok. All background panels are machine stitched. The darling little hÄnglar & stÄnglar girl, from the Sailor Kids collection, was stamped on Cryogen White and colored with Copics. Her clothing, shoes and hairbows are paper-pieced with MM Pink Dots. She was then cut out with triple Nesties. For the horizontal I used a pink double-faced satin ribbon tied into a bow and topped with an organza butterfly by CreaMotion. The floral treatment is all by Wild Orchid Crafts: Gardenia Stem Flowers, Hybrid Tea Roses, and Long Stem Stamens. WOC Pearls soften the corners.



For the first panel on the inside I used the same ribbon, another organza butterfly and some GORGEOUS Guipure Lace from WOC. For the jotting panel I used the lattice circle diecut trimmed with more WOC Pearls.

NEWS...NEWS...NEWS!!!!
On Thursday, April 28, starting at Noon UK time, we will be having a MARVELOUS Wild Orchid Crafts BLOG HOP and there are so many lovely prizes available that you will NOT want to miss it!!!

Tilda

Hi there, it’s my turn to share a card with you on the Wild Orchid Crafts Blog today. 

hawaii-tilda

 

A close up of the white baby’s breath flowers after I had pulled them to bits (as I do!).   I snipped the wire off the end, pulled the pearl stamens out so I could squish the flower up to fit in under the roses then used the waste pearl stamens in the arrangement.  I also dabbed an inked sponge on the roses to give them a bit more of a vintage look.

hawaii-tilda2

Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts: 10mm roses, 15mm roses, 20mm roses, 25mm wild roses, medium hydrangeas, white baby’s breath flowers

Whatever your plans I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend and a happy and peaceful Easter.
