Lily Of The Valley

Sheena Douglass has some fabulous shows planned on Create and Craft on Saturday 25th May at 10am and 3pm where she will be launching some fabulous floral stamp sets. Here are two more samples that I have created for the shows using the Lily Of The Valley stamp set.

The background has been created with peeled paint and forest moss Distress Inks and flicked with water to give a little more interest to the background.

I've stamped the Lily Of The Valley with black Archival Ink and added a touch of dimension to the leaves. I bleached out the flower heads so they appear white just as they are in my garden at the moment.

I machine stitched some lace to the bottom of my card so that the flowers were not just floating, the lace grounds them. I also added a small wooden bird for added interest. I also added a dimensional flower created using Sheena's Flower Power stamp set stamped onto decorative paper.

I added two fragments to the top of my card with touches of the Lily Of The Valley image added to each.

My second card has been painted in the background which I crackled but I used tone on tone so that the crackle was very subtle. I also sprayed the background with Luminarte Radian Rain solar gold shimmering mist spray.

I added touches of gilding wax around the edges of the card to give a touch of opulence. I also added dimension to the flower heads, stamping them twice. I also added a couple of stems to the oval die cut.

A leaf has been added offset to one side along with three fragments, again highlighting the Lily Of The Valley flower heads.

I added Lily Of The Valley to the top of my card stamped onto white card and coloured with Distress Inks, applying black soot to the edges for definition.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
