Spring orchids, a photo by cathroff on Flickr.
Hi, I managed to get another card made today despite the heat! A couple of challenges inspired me.
Addicted to Stamps and More is a new one for me. They've just re formatted their challenge into a range of themes over the weeks. This week its Make Your Mark, to use markers in your project. The only markers I have are tombows, apart from the kids old textas!!
Over at Simon Says Stamp the challenge is to make a project on the theme of Spring or Easter. The DT are using Memory Box products which I love!
I stamped and embossed this orchid branch onto normal cardstock and coloured with my tombows and a blender pen. Then I decided I wanted more dimension so I stamped and embossed on vellum for the top layer of blooms.
I was trying to keep it simple but with an oriental feel...the embossing folder is from the Asian design set I think.
Materials used: Memory Box orchid branch stamp; Provocraft embossing folder; Tombows & blender pen; bling and sentiment sticker from stash.
Thanks for looking :)

Thanks Shaz, I have a few cards embossed ready to use as I don't own the set, can never remember what it's called!
Love the simplicity of the white embossed background, and adding the vellum behind your colored flower was just pure inspiration! This is a beautiful card. TFS
What a lovely design, Cathy! The embossed background makes me think of an Easter basket! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week!
That is lovely. You have captured the oriental feel perfectly. Hugs Mrs A.
