Orange Calla Lilies Tutorial

Happy Friday! I decided to pull out Elegant Flowers  for a little inspiration. I've never colored orange calla lilies before, so I decided it was time.

I started by cutting Pure Luxury Ivory card stock using Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® A2 Matting Basics. I stamped a branch twice with VersaMark, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Next I sponged Memento New Sprout ink to create an embossed resist look.

Sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.  I left the card stock in the die template while sponging to create a frame around the background.

On a pice of white card stock, I stamped the lily with Memento Espresso Truffle. Then I began coloring with Y17 Copic.

Filled in with Y21.

Added YR04.

Added YR07.

Added E19.

For the stem, I used YG25.

Next, I added some shading with YG95. After coloring, I fussy cut the image, then colored and cut out a second calla lily.

Using some gorgeous wrinkled edge sheer ribbon, from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, I tied a bow around the flowers.

I adhered the flowers and layers using Pop Dots, then added some Zva bling to embellish. The card base is Pure Luxury Ivory Base Weight and 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches. I embossed a frame using a larger die template from the A2 Matting Basics A set.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope your weekend rocks!
