Orchid


After seeing some gorgeous black and white cards lately (especially Christine's DT card) I wanted to try one of my own. I had already coloured one of my orchid stamps over the holidays and it was ideal to use with the sketch at Truly Scrumptious. The optional extra was using the colours black, green and pink.
It also fits into
Crafty Creations...black and white with a splash of colour
Crazy4Challenges...Birthday
Crafty Catz...bright and sparkly
Stamp, Scrap and Doodle...celebration
Fussy and Fancy..new (New Promarker shades)
Rainbow lady's Challenge...New ( new Promarkers)
I've used this Orchid stamp from my A Passion for Stamps range

    Ruth this is a super card. You have put the entry on the wrong week but never mind lol. I can't get the photo either to add to the sampler as you have that function disabled.
    Gorgeous entry though thanks for playing Loce Cynthia x
