All that creamy white deliciousness had me digging for a gorgeous leftover water color paper from my son's college art class days. It was HUGE so I cut down the last of it into workable pieces.
If you look at that gorgeous inspiration photo again, you'll spot a few really wonderful thistle... I'm dying for Altenew to create a Thistle set ... who agrees? I've added just a touch of that gorgeous grey-blue to my leaves in honor of them.
I'll be sending this one over to The Flower Challenge - Anything Goes, and to Shopping our Stash who are asking for pink!
Thanks for stopping by today - always makes me smile...

Shirley is right, MIchelle...Beautiful coloring on the Bamboo Roses and leaves and I LOVE your background on this card! Very clever to add the fab window, too!
By the way ~ I also love how you staged this photo with twine...very clever ;)
Holy smokes, this is amazing! I want to see you watercolor some time! Those leaves are amazing...such a beautiful color combo too! I have some Altenew stamps but I am too intimidated to try something like this! GORGEOUS!
There is a lot of gorgeousness happening on this card!! Love that you used your son's paper, so sweet!

So soft and beautiful! Thistle isn't my favorite flower, but it'll be a great addition to a floral collection :)!
Wow, just gorgeous, Michele!
Oh my goodness, Michele, this is gorgeous. Loved the flowers in blue, but they also look beyond amazing in pinks! And those leaves....be still my heart what fabulous colors for the leaves. The watercolor paper looks amazing and such a fabulous sentiment. This card is awesome! :)
Oooh... drooling over your watercoloring-- the leaves are gorgeous! What a sweet card and encouraging sentiment. Thanks for joining at SOS this week!
You are rocking all three challenges Michele. Love this look of this one so very much. You've pull all the best from each of the inspirations and made them a beautifully blended card.
You make those flowers look so good, Michele. Why did I ever stamp them in black?
