The Flower Challenge is asking for "Shades of Purple" and that immediately made me think of a pot of petunias I had growing on my patio last summer. So I pulled out an older petunia stamp.
I stamped it, watercoloured it, splattered with some black watered down ink, bordered in black, added a sentiment strip on black, and popped the panel up on fun foam.

ReplyDeletePetunias are the happiest of flowers and these are a perfect example. Your coloring brought them to life and I can see the happy. Makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful petunias and love the design and those splats Susan x.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job painting these and I love the color. The splatters are the perfect final touch. Now that is something I cannot master.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful stamp and beautifully colored, Susan! Soon you'll have a pot of the real thing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful purple petunia card, Susan! I LOVE the color and the shades! The black ties the elements (border, sentiment strip, spatters) together and highlights the beauty of the purple shades!
