Relax and Restore

I'm thinking we all could do with a bit of a break to ease our restricted lives these days... 

so my card is for you my friends 

To get my mojo flowing sometimes I'll just get out my coloured pencils and an image and I'm off..... for this orchid I first stamped the image in Distress Ink Old Paper and then gave it a light water wash - green on the leaves and light pink on the flowers, then with the pencils added depth and detail.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut it with a circle die and then a larger grey circle to highlight it on the card.  To put it all together I used a green card base and a darker green layer to frame the panel.

I am playing along with Watercooler Wednesday WWC279 - Helen's Challenge: All about Occasions   ----   and  ---   Penny Black Saturday July challenge - Nature

Thanks for stopping by my blog   ---  have a Happy Day and stay safe
