The card took me most of the day to make because I had to spend some time making the lilies, but when I was done I sure was pleased with what I created. Three large petals were stamped on Stampin Up! Whisper White using Memento Angel Pink ink and then sponged with Rangers Spun Sugar distress ink. They were rolled up to create the calla type lily and the end secured with strong adhesive (scor-tape). If you want to try making the lilies I would recommend that you use a relatively lightweight cardstock like Whisper White. I tried making the lilies with PTI's Stampers Select White but found the cardstock was too thick to roll nicely. The three lilies were then mounted on the oval that had been sponged with green ink. The stems were stamped, trimmed out and arranged over the lilies. Then everything was mounted on the card base.
Thanks for taking a peek...
