The Flower Challenge #91 - Reminder

Time for a reminder to play cards with us at The Flower Challenge - tell me you haven't colored flowers at least once this week!


I had a blast water coloring that tulip from The Ton for my first card this month - it was just as fun to Copic color it!  This time in deep moody oranges...


I repeated the process of embossing the negative after die-cutting my bloom - this Woodgrain from Sunny Studios adds such a wonderful texture behind my simple tulip, don't you think?  The sentiment - by now you probably recognize it's one of those Betterpress-ed that I keep on hand at all times.

Thanks so much for stopping over - I hope you'll have time to color one or two more flowers to share with us at The Flower Challenge!

Orange is such a warm and happy colour and I love it on your beautiful tulip Michele. The embossed negative makes a fabulous background too. Vicky x

Love me some moody orange and woodgrain! That's a very deep woodgrain and almost as striking as the tulip you colored to rest against it. Fabulous, Michele!

Yes, I agree, your coloring is beautiful on this flower. And, I admit, orange isn't one I like ususally.

Gorgeous tulip, Michele. Love the shading you've added to give it so much dimension. That woodgrain background looks amazing with this flower. xx

Gorgeous tulip in orange, Michele, and it looks fab against the embossed woodgrain background! Can'tdecideif I like the moody orange or the soft watercolored lilac better. Oh heck, they're both so beautiful, I love them both!

I wish I could color this beautifully with my alcohol markers, Michele. Those oranges are gorgeous and I love the deep embossed wood background.
