The Flower Challenge #25

I love The Flower Challenge, and their entire design team … it's with regret that I don't play along every month.   But after seeing all the lovely Reminder cards from the team, I thought it time to make time!  It IS their 2nd birthday!!


I've had a full afternoon with the gorgeous new EBE Mondo Holly from Julie Ebersole!  [You'll see the others soon.]  For this Challenge, I chose to water color it in shades of grey with red as the accent.

A fun thing happened when I heat embossed my sentiment!  As the splatters hadn't dried, and the Versafine ink hadn't either, bits of silver embossing powder stuck in several areas that I hadn't intended!  and Bob's your uncle:  I added sparkle!!



Happiest 2nd birthday, ladies!!  xoxo
