Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I was so busy preparing for a class that I didn't have time to do many
challenges this month. They are about to close so I'm sliding in at the last minute.
Sorry to bombard you all at one time.
This is for the Altenew September Inspiration Challenge
Their inspiration prompt this month has my favorite summer flowers.
and I finally succumbed to my desire to subscribe to Altenew's Paint a Flower.
Being on sale gave me the push that I needed!
My first stamp set came late last week and I was determined to use it
sooner rather than later.
Now that the class is over and cleaned up, I could enjoy watercoloring
these sweet flowers.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed coloring them.
Challenges:

ReplyDeleteAltenew has such an amazing design! You used this stamp wonderfully. I love the wonderfully colored Echinacea, I really like the background, which is also a frame and sweetly shines through the holes in the circle.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Ros - most of all I love the colors you used. I think I am drawn by color more than any other thing.
