The Flower Challenge #104

Hello again, my friends!  It's the fourth of the month and that means it's time for another playtime with The Flower Challenge!  We have a very fun 'inspiration' photo with gorgeous colors and are asking you to draw from those colors when creating your card(s) for our gallery!  Take a look:
I took advantage of the time I spent with my teamie, Marcia, back in March - I knew she would have some fun products to play with, and she never disappoints!

You might recall a few other color variations of this Pinkfresh stamp that
I've shared already.  I couldn't help making another:


Take a close look at that inspiration photo and you will see that there
is even a little bit yellow there.  I added just a smidge to the flowers
and a bit more to that background created by swiping the ink pads 
across my panel of paper to mimic the photo's background.

Here are my inks:



Another of those big sentiments from HoneyBee - I love that
the panel can be the 'star of the card!'

So, tell me... how will YOU be inspired by those gorgeous colors?  We cannot wait to find out!  See you there!  I will be looking for these colors in the fireworks tonight, too!  Happy Fourth of July, my friends!
