Flowers!

Hello again! Today's post is about flowers! I've recently made three cards using flower images from Aurora Wings. I have posted them on Facebook and received such wonderful compliments on them, that I thought I better write a post about them! The sentiments on all the cards are from Verve Stamps. They have really beautiful clear polymer stamps. Definitely check them out!

The first one, I made specifically for my mom's birthday. It's simple and elegant, and doesn't require a lot of embellishment. The flowers are the star of the show on all of these cards!

PANSY CORNER 1

The Copics I used for the pansies were: R30, R32, R35, R37, R39 and Y17, Y15, Y11, Y000
The greenery is G20, G21, G24, G28

ORCHID CORNER
Copics used for this one are pretty much the same. However, I did not use any yellow EXCEPT for Y000. I used to blend in with the R30 to create a yellow/coral color, or I blended it with the YG000 in the stems and buds to create a gradient, that I hope is realistic.
The stem is YG000, YG01, YG13
I used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch for the butterflies.

Butterfly: R08, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y15, Y11

I hope you like them! Thanks for stopping by!
