I've been drooling over this image, Orchid by Stamping Bella, for a while when I saw her I couldn't resist scooping her up.
Watercolouring her dress was a little scary, but once I got started I was really pleased with how she turned out. I also bought the scalloped edger die which I think is going to get a fair bit of use!
Here's a close up of Orchid with a bit of sparkle on her dress.

Oh Annette....... this is absolutely gorgeous! Your colouring of the flower is perfection.... and I love how you used the edge die!!
Somehow, without even going to the pop-up shops, I've managed to acquire both sets of the basic edges (ooopsie!) they are soooo handy to use and so fabulous too!
