WOW... I love this challenge Holly...You really took this thought and ran with it... I am very allergic to a lot of things, so I stay with mainly natural or Organic items... so this was no different.. I used a natural scent and put it onto little tiny cotton balls and put them behind the flowers in lieu of using pop dots... I had done this on another card it is still has a slight scent after 3 months... so hopefully this will last until at least Valentines Day...
I used a piece of Bazzill paper for the base, and folder it into sections and then started to lover lay the different layers... Using my Cuddlebug dotted swiss folder, and then Martha Stewart punches... and of course my spellbinders... (Floral accent, fleur di lis and also the scalloped heart...
Drew some flowers and using my chalks and markers I colored them in and cut them out.... and used yellow pearls for the centers..I punched out some small flowers and used liquid pearls for the center of them...With some green scrap paper, I cut out my leaves and added accent to them using a stylist.
When putting this all together I used (as stated above) small little cotton balls that had been soaked in essential oils...
I added some pearl accents on the four corners of the main part of the card... Finished... with the exception of figuring out how to mail this...
Thanks for taking a look... and hope you have a wonderful creative day... I am going to clean up after having my son and his girl friend for a week... so I have to now get back to 'normal' around here...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Bonnie, this is stunning! What a gorgeous tryptich! So clever and creative! I've got allergies too, so what a good idea to soak cotton balls in essential oils! This is nothing less than breathtaking! Sending this one straight to my favs! Thank you for posting such a lovely piece of eye candy!
