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

What a great gift! I have never had an orchid but this one is beautiful and I love how you reflected it on your card. Great image, super coloring, and wonderful card shape! Into my faves to study your grounding and scoring more and to just look at that pretty flower! Hugz

Wow, Linda, this card is so beautiful!! You colored your orchid image so beautifully, and it matches perfectly with the orchid to the left of the card. You are such an awesome artist, Linda!
