still lovin' Lily of the Valley

I can't wait to get my hands on PTI's newest set in the Year of Flowers series, but until my June release order arrives, I'm still having plenty of fun with Lily of the Valley!  I just loving coloring this image in with Copics.  Here is a card I made a few days ago:


The base cardstock is orange, not quite as "coral" as it looks in this photo (it's a Bazzill smoothie).  Cutting the focal point so that the image would extend past the edges was inspired by something I saw on someone's blog, but I'm sorry to say that I can't remember where I saw it!  Once the image was colored in, this card came together very quickly.  And of course, the little Creative Charms Gradient Gems are always a perfect finishing touch!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI YOF: Lily of the Valley, Background Basics Geometrics
Ink: Memento Black, PTI Fresh Snow
Cardstock: PTI Simply Chartreuse, white; Bazzill orange
Misc: Creative Charms gems, Copics, ribbon, button,  embroidery floss
