The Flower Challenge #60 Reminder

Hi everyone.  A reminder card about this month's The Flower Challenge #60 - Colour Turquoise.  
I do love hydrangeas (Best Thoughts stamp set - SU! - retired) and they look amazing in turquoise.  Watercoloured using Bermuda Bay (SU!) ink ... just the one colour, using a second layer to add more depth of colour for shading.  Fussy-cut the two hydrangeas and popped them up over top of a white woodgrain background (gift from a friend).  Added little white dots to the flower stamens using my white Posca pen and finished by adding a pre-printed sentiment strip (Reverse Happy Sentiment Strips - CZ Designs).
Close-up ...

Please check out the challenge blog to see the amazing cards by the Designers.  Then come join us.  There's still ten days left before the challenge closes.

    The watercoloring is wonderful, Loll, and those white stamen really pop.

    Your hydrangeas are so pretty, Loll! I love how you layered your watercoloring and that you chose turquoise for your color palette! Great contrast to add the woodgrain panel for the background, too...Another lovely card, my friend! xx

    These hydrangeas do look amazing in turquoise, Loll! The shading of the flowers and leaves are just beautiful! I never thought of Bermuda Bay showing these beautiful tones. Great job of fussy-cutting. The white dots are really effective in brightening the flowers. Another gorgeous turquoise flower card, my friend!
