For my sample today I used the new Orchids set. I love this big branch of gorgeous flowers. I haven’t seen too many orchids, so I googled Orchid images and picked a white/yellow one for my color sample. As layout I used Silke’s sketch for last week’s Timeless Tuesday Challenge.
I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut it with a Label 21 Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers (Blossoms: N0, N1, Y13, Y15, Y17 Stem: YG00, YG01, YG03, YG17 Sky: B0000, B000, B00). The image was adhered to a piece of Canyon Brown cardstock that was hand cut into a slightly bigger layer.
Two strips of white cardstock were cut and embossed with Floral Doily Accents border die. The istrips were adhered to a 2 1/4″ wide strip of Echo Park Springtime paper. That was adhered to a square piece of Springtime paper. All the layers were cut and embossed with a Grand Circle Nestabilities dies. The circle was adhered to a piece of Canyon Brown cardstock that was hand cut to a slightly bigger layer. May Arts Silk Ribbon was tied around the vertical layer before the layers were adhered to the card base, Kraft cardstock cut and embossed with Grand Scallop Circle Nestabilities.
The sentiment is also from the stamp set Orchids. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on White cardstock, cut and embossed with Circle Nestabilities and colored with Copic Markers (B000, B00). The layer was adhered to a piece of Canyon Brown cardstock, cut and embossed with a Floral Doily Motif die. Clear Kaisercraft Rhinestones finish off the card.

Absolutely GORGEOUS Beate!!! Love how the blue background makes these beautiful white orchids pop!!! Love all the bling too!! 🙂
Wow!!! You have truly brought back the beautiful with this gorgeous creation Beate!!! Again, I must say I wish I had the ability to take such wonderful photographs…but as for the card, my goodness your coloring is amazingly beautiful and of course I love the design Silke chose. The bow, bling and colors are perfect! I think I have held off as long as I can on buying that Grand Calibur and some of the larger dies…I believe YOU are at fault because of the gorgeous cards you have made with these amazing dies. So, all I can say is…I hope you will sleep better at night for enabling me to go out and buy (what I have been wanting since it came out) even more goodies.
Thank you Beate for giving me an excuse…Have a wonderful week!!!
Congrats on your being a lime lite designer for May! This is just beautiful. Those flowers are so real looking and I’m thinking this will be a must have set for my wish list. Again I just love your card…Well done!

Soooooo beautiful! I just love all that dreamy-looking blue highlighting behind the flowers. Great color combo and papers, and of course the scalloped circle shape makes it EXTRA adorable. I love round cards but I forget about making them.
