I'm still playing with Altenew's Darling Lily stamp. A mistake on one card lead to a twofer and a perfect card for another challenge.
Addicted to Cas - Flowers
Stamping Sensation - Say it with Flowers
I stamped and colored the lily with copics, starting with a soft yellow center and then adding the violet around that center. The leaves were colored and then with a purple pencil I muted the yellow a bit. I colored the stamen with a yellow red, and added the sentiment. Then I grabbed my die to cut a scalloped edge before mounting it on a lavender card base. Imagine my momentary shock to see I had grabbed a framing die, instead of the scalloped panel die I wanted. I decided since I spent all that time coloring, I'd just go with it. After adding a few gems, its grown on me.

And for the twofer:
This card goes to:Double D Challenges - Lavenders, lilac and purples
The Flower Challenge - Monochrome
Since I had that nice white frame, I thought it might look good with a monochromatic card. I stamped the lily and heat embossed it in white. Then I colored it with colored pencil on just the flowers leaving the leaves as outlines. I am loving the way this one turned out and made up for a mistaken cut.
no one would have known it was a mistake if you hadn't mentioned it, Cat - it looks just wonderful the way it is - lovely card!
