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

Oh Linda, there are so many things to love about this card I am not sure where to start. This card contains many of my favorite things- a gorgeous orchid colored to the 9's, a wonderful book, glasses set to the side and a heartfelt sentiment! The water color wash background you did really showcases your image so beautifully. The z-fold card and your amazing scoring take this beauty into the stratosphere my friend. Hugs! ~Karen.

Great fold and so cool you cut around the top of the flower to pop out from the base. Nicely done and very pretty. Thanks for playing in our Power and Spark Winter Blooms challenge this month.
Linda, this is just outstanding in every way! Your coloring is top notch, as always and your scored details, for the z-fold design, add so much! Straight to my favs!
