Happy New Year, sweet friends! It's been a while, but I've been busy with the holidays and just giving myself a much-needed break (and trying to reorganize a bit). But I got the boost I needed with the latest Power Poppy remixed digital image. I didn't know that the Lenten Rose (also called Christmas Rose) is known as Hellebores (I wonder how many of you knew that? I imagine some do.). After seeing all the different hues of Hellebores, I was inspired by some of the Pink and Red Lady varieties. I found some designer paper and went to work and came up with this layout - not the most original, but I hope it works.
I used my beloved MISTI to stamp a sentiment from a clear set that fit perfectly. I ended up paper piercing both layers of DP and colored the edges with Copic markers. I lightly sponged some Tea Dye ink while in Labels 11 that I hope you can see. And then I decided to add some lace with seam binding on top and popped the focal image. It was so enjoyable to finally make a card again, and I hope you like it. I hope to start posting again more often and participating in a challenge soon.
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you have a great week! Stop by my blog for more details. Hugs!
