Purple Alstroemeria

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's a busy time around here but I have had time to play with my current favorite flower.

I had seen the Alstroemeria blooms in bouquets but didn't know what it was called

until Simon Says Stamp came out with two dies to "die" for.  I can't decide which I like the best!

This time the large die with the matching 3D embossing folder won out.

I used the embossing folder on purple cardstock and gently daubed white ink over the 

raised parts.  The die cut flower was embossed and gently colored with sponge daubers and

touched with a damp waterbrush.

I used a Supracolor pencil with a very sharp point to color the seed details.  When it was

all colored up, I put it back in the embossing folder for another pass through.

I topped it all off with a gold die cut sentiment that's another current favorite in the studio.
