This card is for Barbara's rich color challenge, and for the challenge at Power Poppy. https://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2017...ur-winter.html
We were to use a winter flower on our card. Around here the only flowers are inside the house. Recently this orchid was a gift to our family. Never had an orchid before this one. They are beautiful, and only need indirect light and 3 ice cubes weekly.
Made the z-fold base card with cream paper. Just added layers of the cream paper, and scored for dimension. Colored the digi, and added the stamp sentiment. A tiny bit of wink of stella, and a white sharpie pen to highlight. TFL
