This month's
Penny Black challenge is "Summer Colours" - they want bright and cheerful pretty summer colours. What better than a bouquet of beautiful summer flowers?
I coloured the image with watercolour pencils by using a wet paintbrush to pull the colour off the tips of the pencils. It's a technique that Darnell had us do at the May retreat I was on with her and several other stampers.
I trimmed the panel and wrapped a strip of vellum on which I heat embossed the sentiment around it. I then popped the panel up on fun foam. I added yellow and black pearls to the centres of the flowers.
It's going off to a dear friend who is a very keen flower gardener and whose birthday is this month.
