Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge 22

I made this card for the latest Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge which is White plus 2 Colours with a Twist. I went for Gold and Brown as my two colours and I was pleased with the outcome.

The image is "Dare to Dream' from Whiff of Joy which I coloured with Promarkers. I cut the image out using one of the new Spellbinders Nestabilities - Fleur De Lis Rectangles. The background paper is from Craftwork Cards Confetti collection. The flowers are Trellis Roses and Sweetheart Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts and the ribbon is from my stash. I added some sparkle to the flowers and the dress of the image with some Glamour Dust but it does not show very well in the photo.

Thank you for visiting my Blog, your comments are really appreciated

Hi, my name is Elaina and I live near Kings Lynn, Norfolk with my Husband, Daughter and a selection of pets.

I have been crafting since I was a child when I learnt to knit and do cross stitch. I started making cards about 20 years ago when I discovered stamping and embossing. I have tried all sorts of other crafting techniques and currently I am doing a lot of Mixed Media work.

I was privileged to spend three years studying traditional needlework techniques at the Royal School of Needlework based in Hampton Court Palace. Amongst other techniques I learnt Silk shading, Goldwork, Whitework and Blackwork.
