purple instead as I thought it would
make a nice twist on the normal colours you see this vibrant flower.
I have used my Promarkers and
Flexmarkers in various shades of purples making it very light at the bottom and
going up to much more vibrant colours at the top. It was fun to play with
different colours and keep blending and adding until I was happy with it.
I have used sketch
#10 by I {Heart} Card Sketches for the layout. It really suited the shape
of the image and allowed me to mat it on a piece of metallic cardsrtock which
is actually a panel from a box of perfume, Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears.
Pretty perfect as it is a sweet floral scent and the box was too pretty not to
use. The butterfly paper is from the Dreamcatcher pad by First Edition.
The sentiment is a digi
freebie from MM Designs and as it is blooming snowing again it is very true
of how I see the spots of colour that lovely flowers bring. I have used an
assortment of fabric and paper flowers all held together with a glittery
Papermania brad.
The Red Hot Poker image can be
purchased from the Etsy store. For inspiration please pop over to
the blog and Facebook page where our very talented designers
will be regularly showcasing these amazing images.
