This card is for today's SCS Free For All(F4A14)! Inspired by a Collection! Aside from collecting craft stuff, I collect ornaments. I love glass ornaments the best. I love intricate designs,whimsical, and floral. My dh usually brings me an ornament home from his worldly travels. I like that the pieces I collect tell a story, too. Why I got it or who gave it to me and why. This card makes me think of a clear glass bulb with a beautiful flower hand painted or etched on the outside. Love that!
Try as I might I wanted this card to work for this week's SCS sketch challenge, but my flower was so big and the horizontal band covered most of it up...gasp! I opted not to go there. LOL! Boo Hoo! However, I ended up with a funky layout, though. Oh, well!
How do you make white flowers white? You paint the shadows only! LOL! Duh! I just love this lily of the valley image from PTI. I also purchased my first impressions plate this time. LOVE it! This texture is the perfect texture cardstock look! I am really "impressed" with these impression plates!
