Pink and Green

This is my entry for the graphicus monthly competitionBlossom and the colours Pink and Green.

I do not have a stamp that really represents blossom so have used the Morning Glory stamp from Flora and Fauna, I stamped this onto velum with the Moonlight white brilliance pad, and then coloured in the flowers and leaves on the same side I stamped with my Derwent pencils, then used their blending and burnisher pencils, these are brilliant and gave a lovely effect.

I then used a ball tool on the back of the Morning Glory petals to give it lift and some extra dimention before edging the velum with a pink ink pad. The velum was then attached to some pale pink paper, which in turn was mounted onto printable acetate which I had printed in green from the Damask Delights CD.

Using small stamps from the Delightful Damask set I stamped the front of my base card with pink and green brilliance pad.

Then with the butterfly from Just Butterflies I stamped it onto acetate and coloured it from behind with H2o's, to make this stick to the acetate I mixed a little dimensional or clear glue with the paint this stops the colour from flaking off.

I finished off the card using ribbon. I folded this into a few loops at one side and attatched it with a brad, I find that I do not have any problems with this being to thick for the post as the knot in a bow can be.
