Karren has chosen a lovely color for challenge #107 at The Flower Challenge! I can think of many flowers that come in shades of PURPLE - can't you?
Many months ago, I received a very generous gift from a crafty friend who
thought I'd have fun coloring these gorgeous flowers from
Altenew's Flutter and Bloom - the first time I sat down [immediately after arriving if I'm honest] I used purple! Then I remembered that there was a purple challenge in rotation at The Flower challenge.
These flowers have been patiently waiting to be shared... thanks a million, TK!
They were SO much fun to watercolor loosely with my Distress inks!
Mounting this onto an embossed panel of kraft card gives my card all the dimension
I desired - and a little texture, too! I think I used SB's Tile Reflection! lol
Any and all florals are welcome to our challenge - just don't forget that this month they MUST be purple! Let's go see which purple flowers the team has shared, shall we?

These purple flowers are so pretty and I'm glad they could come out to delight us, Michele! Your watercoloring is awesome as always!
ReplyDeleteLove purple and love the effect of the embossed kraft card too xx
ReplyDeleteThese pretty florals were well worth the wait Michele! I'm loving your water-coloring too! I'm pretty set on keeping on using those re-inkers that I bought just for painting with. The purples here are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou may have had to wait awhile to share, but these blooms were definitely worth the wait Michele...I love them!! Your water coloring is SO pretty and the purple totally fits these flowers to a "T"!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh My!! I knew you'd work wonders with these, and they do NOT disappoint! Gorgeous flowers and texture
ReplyDeleteLucky us to finally get a peek at your pretty purple blooms! A wonderful gift and a wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your loose watercoloring and although I'm not fond of purple, your card brings the perfect shade that's making me grow fonder of the color and I may even join the challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty in purple! Your watercoloring is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully watercolored purple flowers looking divine with the embossed kraft behind them! I'm so glad they found a place to show off their loveliness!
