Hey everyone. I’m participating in the Altenew – Paint A Flower Calla Lily blog hop today. You should of gotten here from Erum’s blog. The Paint A Flower Calla Lily is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful cards. Let me share what I’ve created.
For my first card I pulled out my Karin brush markers to watercolor the flowers. I used a color combination of yellow, pink and green. It really makes the flower pop. When I stamped the image I used versa mark and gold embossing powder. This added just a bit of glam to my card.
For texture I added on some splatter with metallic gold watercolor and some of the pink. I pulled out my vintage nuvo drops to add in some green to this card panel.
Once the panel was dried I layered it onto pink card stock and adhered it to a white card base. All that was left was to stamp a sentiment from the stamp set.
Once my first card was complete, I started working on my second card. For this card I used Copic Markers instead of watercolor. I repeatedly stamped the image towards the bottom of my panel and did some no-line coloring. For added texture I used my color pencils for detail work.

![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!
