Flowers of the Month: Larkspur

Hello Friends,

We are celebrating Larkspur this month here at Lila Grey Stamps.   This is a flower that I'm not familiar with....so off to Google image.  I was pleasantly surprised when my screen filled with a beautiful purple!!

I chose a series of violet markers to create the plum-like color.   I used V01, V04, V05, V06 and V09. These can be tricky to shade.  To help with the blending I used V01 to help soak the paper with alcohol with paper to keep the ink moving.  

I cropped the image off center to give the appearance of a whole field of flowers rather than just a single few.

I hope you enjoy this card.  I love the purple.  Thanks for stopping by
Chris

Hello fellow super heroes,  

Don't deny it...there are some days you should be wearing a cape!

 I had a little trouble with the heat embossing.  I don't think clear stamps work as well for this technique.  I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.

Hello friends,

I have a fun floral card to share today.  I love the softness of this card.  I saw a similar idea in a card magazine.  I had to give it a try.
