Best of Flowers Pastel Bouquet

I was playing with my Best of Flowers set and thought I'd give this little bouquet a try.  I tried stamping it in black and brown to color and wasn't happy with that.  So I got out some markers and inked up the bouquet with them.  The results really made me happy!



It just so happens that two of my favorite challenge sites have a very similar sketch.  And I thought they worked well with this little design.




Addicted to Stamps and More is doing Anything Goes

Pixies Crafty Workshop only requires the use of snippets on a card.  The design piece and mat are both from snippets.  So glad I can play again.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Ink:  SU Markers (Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Marina Mist)

Ooh Aah, I get to leave the first comment on this gorgeousness!!! Hooray! I think your pastel markers on this little bouquet was plumb inspiration. It says "Spring fresh" all the way. Loved your EF with this one too. This is just lovely & soft, and truly looks like spring flowers. TFS

Oh, my, this is so pretty!
At first, I thought the flowers were from an older, retired SU set whose name escapes me at the moment. It had lots of flowers in it and some sentiments. Ring any bells?

Hi Bonnie

On a score of one to ten this certainly gets a ten! It's perfect - love the bouquet, gentle colours with the contrast of the green - oh, and, sigh - just everything!

Hugs, Di xx
