The Flower Challenge #73

 

Hello, my friends!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

The Flower Challenge is celebrating its 6th birthday this month! Yay!
  What kind of celebration would it be without YOU all and Prizes??

We'd like you to use a sentiment this month - but it doesn't have to be a birthday wish!  Choose your sentiment to match your card - we'll love them all as long
as you remember to make flowers the main feature of your card.

Here is my card...


I recently used another image from this SSS Black-eyed Susan set but was
only allowed to use brown and yellow!!  Aren't they even more lovely in
more traditional colors?  Here are the inks I used for my very loose water-coloring:


I did go back and add a smidge of Spiced Marmalade, and Villainous Potion using regular Distress ink to make them pop a little bit more.

We look forward to your cards in this special gallery!
Congratulations to my Flower Challenge family!

Love your watercoloring! Seems appropriate because all I've seen for the last five days, looking out my window, is WATER! These are much prettier than the rainy skies we've had! Gorgeous!
