No Orchids here but on paper

Good morning. We surely do not have any flowers here right now as the snow has just finally melted. In fact today is the first day we are on the baseball fields. GASP!!! This is week 3 of baseball season and they are just now getting on the field. Its been a crazy year with our weather. The 3 double headers that were scheduled have been moved thankfully but that means long weeks ahead for April.
 Anyways... you didn't come here to hear about baseball. How about some flowers on paper?   This is Ruffled Wild Orchid from the Instant Garden collection oooohhhhaaaahhh! 


A simple design for this birthday card. I tucked the birthday sentiment in the corner of the leaves and then hit print.  Then colored with Copic markers in the lovely springy shades of purple. The scallop edge along the side and some silver cord. A few pearls and voila. Notice no sparkles? Yes I am feeling okay, just didn't put any on this one. HA!

Be still my heart! This is SUCH a gorgeous card, Stacy! All that pristine white and those utterly gorgeous ruffly orchids, sigh... Beautifully colored. Wow! You're going to be crazy busy in the coming weeks. Spring and summer makes us all step up the game!

I’m so with you...we have bits of snow left here. I can remember freezing at my daughter’s soccer games...so I hope you’re bundling up. This serene and feminine card is a sure sign of Spring!! That border is divine...and the pearls are the finishing touch! Thanks so much for sharing!

Stacy, wow! I love the colors of your petals. Amazing variation of color, and I love the elegance of all the white! It's stunning, sweet friend! We have a couple of orchids, but they aren't this species. I love this one and find it a joy to see your card! Hugs and love! xoxo
