The Flower Challenge #60

Hi everyone.  Time for a new challenge at The Flower Challenge (#60).  We are so excited to have Kailash (Kailash Crafts) as our Guest Designer this month.  Welcome Kailash!

I LOVE turquoise and was so happy when I saw this challenge!  I started by stamping Beautiful Bouquet Dahlia (WPlus 9) in Versamark and heat embossing in Princess Gold.  I then watercoloured the flower and leaves with Zig markers.  Love the bright colours.

To finish, I gold heat embossed the sentiment Cosmos - retired (Technique Tuesday) and added a gold and white diagonal strip washi tape to the bottom of the card.

I hope you'll check out the challenge blog to see the fantastic cards from our Designers, and our amazing Guest Designer, Kailash.  Hope to see you in the gallery!

Paper:   Mixed Media (Strathmore 140 lb.)
Ink:   Versamark; Zigs

    A perfect challenge for you, Loll, since you love turquoise. What beautiful colouring, especially with the gold embossing outlining it! Great use of the gold and white tape along the bottom.

    Those dahlias are so beautiful in turquoise, Loll, and the gold embossing really adds an elegant feel as does the striped washi.

    Loll, the gold embossing on your flowers look amazing, I need to remember to do this next time.
    Your flowers are beautifully colored, the golden stripped adds a fabulous detail to your design.
    Awesome card, teammate.
