Charming Lillies

Welcome

Today I am sharing another post for the CCC Digi Creations, where our sponsor this fortnight is

 

I chose this lovely Lily and Butterfly image to work with for challenge #7 which is Use a Charm or Pin with a digi image.



After colouring the image with Prisma coloured pencils, I fussy cut it and mounted  it on foam tape over a piece of paper that I had chalked clouds onto, and had randomly stamped with the sentiment.


To add a touch of pizzazz I touched the centre of the petals and the edge of the butterfly wings with Ice Stickles.


The charm was tied onto a narrow ribbon that was mounted over a wider, darker one.


Some confetti stars were added as a final detail.

Great coloring on these pretty flowers and that was some fussy cutting too. Liked the way you've mounted these against your cloud sky with the multiple stamping. Very pretty detail. Also liked the way you did the ribbons together with the sweet charm. A very pretty card, liked it lots! Happy wkend and hope DH is still mending nicely. TFS & Hugs
