Orange Lily Blessings

I'm the hostess today at Splitcoaststampers for the Featured Stamper Challenge and I chose Mary Marsh, aka MaryR197 as this weeks Featured Stamper.  Mary is such a friendly and encouraging stamper and I knew everyone would love a browse through her very beautiful gallery.  I chose THIS card as my inspiration. 
The lily is a Woodware Single stamp and the sentiment is from the just released SNSS set, Springtime Sparrows.
I love this colour combo and dyed the seam binding with copic ink to get as close of a match as possible with the dp, using a method I learned from Tammy Hershberger - putting the seam binding in a small plastic bag, squirting in a few drops of the ink and then scrunching it up for a distressed look. 

Orange is such a happy colour, it was fun to sit and blend the different shades from deep hues to a lighter yellowy gold. 
I confess I'm not too fond of lilies in real life, as I find their smell overpowering, but I enjoy creating with them!
