Garden Trio Peach and Aqua

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I love the photo to inspire us at The Flower Challenge this month.  The colors are so 
dreamy and the feeling of gentle movement very soothing. 

This is my take...you can see the picture below my card.


I've been wanting to play with this new set from Penny Black and this challenge
gave me the perfect opportunity.  It's my new favorite stamp/die set so
you'll be seeing more of it in the near future.

I stamped the image in Memento Toffee Crunch and colored with
Distress Reinkers uses as watercolors.  The matching die makes it easy to
cut it out and gets those little in between spots really well. A black
Micron pen highlighted the details in the flower center.

I loved the lattice die cut that Jill Foster used for a card using this flower so
it found it's way into my cart too.  I think I'll be using this die quite a bit!

The alcohol inked piece had the right color and movement as in the inspiration photo
and I love how it plays so beautifully with the peach shades.

I have the flower but not that terrific lattice die. You put them together beautifully, Bonnie, with wonderful watercoloring on the flower and a fabulous alcohol inked background. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.

Everything about this card is just lovely! I'm afraid you've added another Penny Black frame to my wish list, however. I especially like your alcohol inked background and your watercoloring is wonderful, too. A great entry to the challenge!

Sheer perfection! The coloring on the flower is spectacular, your color-matches spot on and the whole composition is just as dreamy as the inspiration photo. Wow, this has to be my favorite from your cards - ever!

I can easily see how this one would become a favorite, Bonnie! I love your bloom in all the shades of orange in our inspiration - lucky you to have the perfect inky piece to bring it all home!
Such a GORGEOUS addition to our gallery at The Flower Challenge!
