I've had such a fun time water coloring this month and hope you've enjoyed it, too! Today, the last Friday of July, I've decided I just had to share a new die from Waffle Flower Craft and the simplest way to add the color to their gorgeous Layered Orchids!
My card started by simple die-cutting those petal layers from 110# white cardstock. Then I searched for Orchids on my phone to find one I'd like to use as a guide... here's what I found:
After a good smattering of Copic dots on the petals, I used Copics to add color the stamen as well! To mix it up a little I die cut the stems from kraft cardstock, and again in a chartreuse.
A brand-new HELLO from Waffle Flower has found a permanent home
in my favorites stash - love it layered over vellum!
I am so in awe of anyone who can keep orchids blooming in their home! These will be fresh for a very long time!
Thanks for stopping by today - hope you have a happy crafty weekend!

I am NOT a pink person, but I gotta tell you I love everything about this wonderful card! The orchids with the dots....oh, my! And I love the twist on the greeting placement - very unique. And the colors make it all pop. I doubt I'll see such beauties when I go to Kauai in September. Thanks for sharing this gem.
