Queen of Flowers

Today's card is my

 CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN dt post 

Challenge #137 Flowers

sponsored by SWEET ESCAPE DIGIS

 I was so looking forward to working with this image

 " Queen Flowers"

Daffodils are my birth flower and my "Bestie"'s

fav is tiger lilies  :D

 The theme this fortnight is flowers...

 while tidying I had unearthed these fabulous cards

that I must have had for over 10 years!!!!
*They has black glitter on*

The image was screaming out to be decoupaged...

I printed her out 4 times...

then narrowed my card choices down to 2 lol

The yellows won.

I made a colour swatch with my promarkers before starting...

and tested the colours out on what would be the base layer

*most of this would be covered by subsequent layering*

The white card was too harsh against the warm yellows

so I softened it with a matching marker.

See how the second layer covers most of the base.

I cut out my layers before colouring, 

as my hands sometimes shake these days

and it is less of a waste of time if I make a mistake

and need to print out another layer.

Once I'd coloured the second layer I added glossy accents

to her jewels.

This is how the separate pieces looked.

I decided 3 layers were enough.

She looked a little chilly,

 so I used the fourth layer to cut a garland 

to drape around her shoulders :D 

A hint of glitter on some of the flowers 

and she is done.
