Calla Lily Thank You

Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.

Challenge 209

Theme 'Favourite Things' 

The sponsor is StitchyBear Digital Outlet with a 7 image prize pack. To win main prize you MUST use an Image from our store. Runner up prize for person using none store image is $3 to spend in the StitchyBear Digital Outlet. So everyone can win something ;O).

Oh this is such a lovely challenge, flowers, it had to be flowers for me as they are one of my favourite things that I love to colour, love to draw, love to see growing, just love, love love :) :) :)

For this challenge I used the digi Cala Lily by Hope Jacare Doodles available from the StitcyBear Digital Outlet.

To make my card I first covered my card blank with some hand made paper which had leaves and petals embedded into it.  I then attached some hessian/burlap type lace stuff and some proper lace.

 Next I used Photoshop to create a mottled background behind the digi and printed

 Once the digi was coloured with Promarkers I then cut it out using Spellbinders Grand Circles

 Next I used the next size up in the Spellbinders Grand Circles to cut a hessian mount and finally Spellbinders Grand Scallop Circles to cut a mount to of the same handmade paper I used to back the card.  Once assembled I added some Bisque Liquid Pearls and a Thank You peel off sticker.

 Time to get some raffia out and make a bow to which I added some green organza. To finish off I used a butterfly charm and threaded beads, sequins and pearls to the thread.  Rather like this so will no doubt be doing it again <g>

 Here is a close up of the charm and bead strand.
