Here's my inspiration for the challenge:



I've used the lovely Orchid Decoupage Stamp set from Imagination Crafts. I've coloured with ProMarkers and decoupaged the 3 orchid flowers and leaves using silicone glue. The background is inked over with Distress Inks and a Sakura sparkly glaze pen used to highlight the background. The swirly leaves stamp that comes with the set was stamped around the edge of the Kraft card base using Versamark ink to give a watermark effect. 

Please head over to the challenge to see what my lovely team mates have created and why not have a go yourself?

Thanks for looking, back soon.

    1. Thanks Suze, I love orchids too and had one of my plants sat in front of me whilst I coloured in so that I could get the colours right x

  4. I love your orchids.Floral stamps are such fun to colour, aren't they? I really like the effect you get with the sakura pen, I sometimes do the same thing on some background paper to jazz it up a bit.
