Morning Glories or Petunias??

I just felt like watercoloring and grabbed this image from SU.  I did them in shades of pinks, which has me thinking that they look like petunias.  I searched for some dp to go with this image, and decided I'd make it a clean card.  I like how it turned out.

Color Challenge 324 - Spring Iris...

Karen Barber picked some lovely colors for today's color challenge.  They are perfect plum, soft suede, and baja breeze.  I softly water colored my Siberian Iris from Flourishes.  I put an embossed layer behind my flower and popped the flower up.  I really like the colors.

CC323, Sweet peas from Flourishes...

This is the second card I made for this week's challenge.  Rich razzleberry, regal rose, and vanilla were the colors.  I incorporated some black and dp to match.  Such a fun color challenge and lots of nice cards on SCS showing it.

CC323, Cherry Blossoms with a butterfly

This is the first card I made for this week's color challenge.  We were to use rich razzleberry, regal rose, and vanilla.  What a lovely combination.  The butterfly was the dessert this week.  I matched the dp I used.

Dark, Vintage Sunflowers...

This was supposed to be a color challenge card, but it was seen that these colors were posted on the CC247 challenge.  Before I knew that I created the card.  My sunflowers are stamped in soft suede with a bit of black.  I tore the edges and sponged with both colors, giving it a burnt or vintage look. I used a piece of dp and a decorative brad from SU.

SC332, Medallion in Hiding...

This was the sketch challenge card for Wednesday's sketch.  I flipped the sketch.  My colors were pixie pink and black, with white.  I used the medallion.  Do you see it??

Hollyhocks in blushing bride...

I was purely experimenting today when stamping my hollyhocks image from Mark's Finest Papers.  I used blushing bride to watercolor them, some dp with similar colors, and also did a bit of dry embossing.  I used ribbon and made a sentiment using similar colors as well.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.
