Hello Again! I'm back with my second post for the day, it's a new monthly challenge start at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog. Jan has released 3 new sets this month in addition to the Easter Sale, where all Easter themed Sets are on Sale through the month of February.
My team project features one of Jan's older sets, the Botanical Orchids. This is such a sweet, Springtime image and lovely sentiment. I've done more practicing with my Prismacolor Pencils on this image as well.
I love Orchids and was gifted one at my retirement party. I kept it alive for 3 years, that's a record for me....I do not have a green thumb. I used a snippet of patterned paper and embossed a light green panel with a lattice design.
The focal and sentiment have been cut using stitched nesting circle dies from My Favorite Things; the sentiment has been popped on craft foam for dimension. Lastly, I added purple gems for that much needed bling.
Please join us at Jan's this month to see how my team mates have used images from Jan's newest sets. Also, don't forget the Easter Sale! Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pure loveliness, Donna, with the soft lavender and green! I especially like your shading, and the way the lavender panel brings out the lavender side of your image, and the green "side" of the background weighs the greenery portion of Jan's botanical orchid. So beautiful!

This is so beautiful, Donna! I love how you have used two circles overlapping and the light purple and green together compliment your orchid beautifully.
