Aloha

I have to say, Heather has out-done herself this month with this absolutely beautiful image.  I just love it and know that I will be using it again.

Craft Your Passion - Summer Flowers

The two background papers that I have used come from Publikado.  I have covered the join between the two papers with yellow grosgrain ribbon and then over that I have placed a strip of orange mesh ribbon.  The image that I have used is from Heather Valentin and is called Kalani.  I have coloured Kalani with copic markers YR07, YR04, Y06, E11, E00 and added some Stickles -Yellow to the flower centres.  The "aloha" sentiment comes from Back To Paper and die-cut using a Spellbinders pennant die.  The flowers are die-cuts from Marianne's Designs which I have embellished with rhinestones.  The orange ones were the same colour as the rest and I went over them with YR07!
