Moments in Lovely Lipstick

I should know better than to do a blog post on a Wednesday night.  It's Chicago night on NBC.  Do you watch them?  Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD.  Chicago Fire is by far the absolute best.  And tonight they are doing a cross over between Fire and PD.  So, in otherwords, it's taking me twice as long to do this post.  If I would have thought this through, I should have done this earlier in the day.  Oh well.  Next time.

I love these calla lilies.  One year I even planted some in this exact shade, but they never grew back the next year.  I was so disappointed.  Now, I can get them year round with this stamp set!

For some reason, when I think of these calla lillies, I always think in a deep shade of pink.  Lovely Lipstick comes to mind.  Love how they pop against the black.  They definately make a statement.

I had to fussy cut the large lily and also the leaf.  Good news is that starting in March, the framelits will be available for purchasing!  No more fussy cutting.  A little too late for this card, but it wasn't hard to cut out.  

It's hard to see, but I had another layer of Basic Black on the card base.  This layer I used with the Layered leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder.  It added a little bit of texture because I thought the base was just a little too plain.  

Look at the inside of the card.  Love how this turned out.  Stamp the lillies for the front of the card and then immediately on the inside piece.  If you don't stamp off, the image will be too dark to actually write over.

This card was a little putzy to put together, but in the end, it was worth it.  It's almost to pretty for a sympathy card.
