Ethereal Orchid on Paper (& Winner Announcement)

Hello friends!

I hope that you are not tired of seeing another Craft-a-Flower Orchids! This is my 4th version and likely the last (for now). 

This is what happened when you have a beautifully-designed die that you keep finding new ways of using the product. But first, I'd like the definition of the word.

 

 

"ethereal": extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Consisting of ether; hence, exceedingly light or airy; tenuous; spiritlike; characterized by extreme delicacy, as form, manner, thought, etc. 

 

This is my 1st version. I ink-blended the petals and water-colored the leaves and stems.

 

 

My 2nd version is close to the first version. I used strong color color contrast and added a stenciled background.

 

 

It then occurred to me to try using vellum.... thus,.... this is my 3rd version.

 

 

 

With that, I thought of trying to use white paper and vellum together. That's how I made the 4th version.

The white-paper orchid center was colored with Alcohol Marker.

I love the luminous look of the vellum. The white paper provides are very realistic look as well.

Combining various petals seems like a good idea.

I really love how similar with all of the cards are and yet, each one is so different on its own.
