Lily of the Valley

Just a very quick post here as I seem to have been well sidetracked this evening <g>.  I won this fabulous digi Lily of the Valley by Rachel Anderson last week have have been longing for the opportunity to use it so this afternoon I gave myself some 'me time' to create a card with it.

First I created the graduated background and placed the digi on top.

When I planned the card I wanted to use green lace which I was sure I had in my stash.  Alas, after hunting and finding red, blue, purple, brown, black and white but no green I had to get creative.  Backup plan was to cover my white card blank with green embossed paper and then overlay white lace coloured with my precious Promarkers to get the effect I wanted <g>  The lace was then sprayed with adhesive spray and placed on the prepared card blank.

While this was drying I set to work on colouring the digi. As you can see, I seemed to have used a multitude of colours <g>

I finished of the digi with Lilac Liquid Pearls on the hair and wings and Ice Stickles for over the dew drops for a bit of shimmer. Next was to create some embellishments and a tag for the card.  I deliberately used a dark green card which would not be to noticeable against the background as I don't like cluttered cards but do like to see lots going on <g>  I used one of the snowflakes from Impression Obsession Snowflakes and embellished them with more Lilac Liquid Pearls.  The tag is from X-Cut tags.

 

Now to assemble my card.  I made the bow, and placed the snowflake dies where I wanted them.  Next I mounted the digi on dark green card and attached this to the card blank with foam tape for added dimension.  The tag was attached with foam tape too.  To finish off I place a small mauve purple heart gem in the centre of the bow.  Here we have the finished card.
