Yin Yang Orchids

Photo Details

Poster: ckbythesea

I loved this challenge, I've been looking forward to this new challenge all week! But alas, I cannot get a decent photo of this card tonight! I used some old acrylic paints to make a matte distressed backdrop for my orchids. I stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with detail black ep. Next I colored the stems and flowers with embossing markers that I haven't used for years, and used detail clear ep. They are pleasingly glossy, yet rustic against their background. TFL!

Love the rustic background you created with your paints and the stamped image over the top looks great. I bet the glossy petals look amazing.

You have painted your background so well I would have sworn it was wood! It looks fabulous behind your beautifully done flowers!
