Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge 161

So I don't have the most creative post titles!  I seem to be on a Mojo tear these days so I am taking advantage of it!  Here is a card for this week's color challenge with Connie and Mary.


Sometimes it just takes pulling out a stamp set I haven't used in awhile to get the wheels turning.  Awash with Flowers is one of those sets!  



There two two happy accidents on this card.  First, the punched border I had made for yesterday's card but it just didn't work so I fished it out of my scrap bowl.  I always go to my scrap envelopes before I cut into cardstock and had this piece of Old Olive...almost the exact size!  I knew I had to use it!

The flowers were all stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Daffodil Delight marker and blended with an aquapainter.  Since I stamped the background leaves on whisper white, I cut out the flowers and mounted them on the white.  You cannot really tell, but I also added some glitter pen to the outlines.

The sentiment is from the current hostess set, Happiest Birthday Wishes.

Thanks for looking!!  Hope this inspires you to take out a neglected set!
