Glorious Gladioli

Hi Everyone!
Back today with another card I made using one of the digi stamps from the Spectrum Noir Intermediate DVD from Crafter's Companion.

This time I used the gladioli and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir pencils. As well as trying to colour the flowers realistically, I wanted to show that with a detailed coloured image, you don't always need to add lots of embellishments to show off your work - it is just a matter of choosing backing papers that help to push your image forward and help make it pop off the page. Hopefully, I have done this with these Bo Bunny papers from the older 'Vicky B' range, teamed with brown cardstock and a small piece of mirror card!


I then decorated the inside to match, cutting the front of the card slightly shorter than the back so that the border sticker/paper can be seen slightly and add a little more detail and dimension, before finishing off with a sentiment sticker and gems.

Hope you like this latest card. I  loved colouring it with the pencils. I have included the colours I used below:
013, 005, 033, 025, 026, 027, 044, 057, 059


Best wishes and bye for now
