Pantone Radiant Orchid, not quite.


Hi Friends, I made this card with the Flourishes FTTC 256 in mind which is to use the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid (or any purple). I didn't use orchid but did use a Plum card stock from SU. I just got this CS and it's very pretty. I used the Violets set from Flourishes as well and Copic Markers. I credit Cindy L., my Copic Certification teacher for my being able to color these leaves with realism because we practiced on a similar image in class. :)
For the rest of the card, I used BG Plumeria papers and dry embossed the top piece with Victoria Cuttlebug folder. I added scalloped lace, seam binding, a lock charm, pearl swirls, flat back pearls and spellbinder dies. I followed the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge also, switching the square for an oval.

Other challenges I'm submitting to are:
Bloggers Challenge -Embossing
As you like it Challenge -My favorite style ( I like a clean and layered with lots of interest, pretty design paper, vibrant colors, many layers.)
Crafty Fairies Challenge -Lavender and Lace

Thanks for visiting today!

    Oh how lovely Kim! Your leaves look so real. You must have earned an A+ in that coloring class. The embossing and that pretty pearl swirl make this card another example of you girls who know how to make those Flourishes stamps shine. Hugs!
