A Bouquet of Flowers


Welcome everyone!  Here is a card just for fun!  I tend to colour up my images and then work up a card at a later date...hmmm...sound familiar?  I really enjoy the colouring but sometimes I have difficulty deciding on the card design.


Today for my layout, I've used Lena's sketch for challenge #79 at LOTV, along with one of their images Teddy with Bouquet.  I've coloured with both water colours and Prisma's, adding glitter pen, stickles and glossy accents to the flowers. 

I took some ideas from a couple of other challenges, too...as I was having a bit of trouble deciding on my DP.  The Tuesday Throwdown challenge is background stamping....so I stamped the dots on yellow card stock with different colours of DI.  This also works for the Go Dotty theme challenges at Winter Wonderland  and Incy Wincy Designs.

Some other supplies used:
Papers: Prima (Fairy Flora pack), yellow and burgundy cardstock
Tools:  Nestie die, MS punches,
Other elements:  from my stash

A few other challenges that I'm entering which may give you some more inspiration:

The Crazy Challenge - #49 Animals
