Orange and Teal

Hi everyone.  I was total inspired by challenges to create this card today, starting with Darnell's IDEAS Challenge - Week 1 - Inks.  I used Distress inks to watercolour my tulips and leaves in the colours of the Color Hues Challenge #107.  I also used one of my many PB stamps to join in with PBSC April Challenge, using Spring colours for The Flower Challenge #101.  Thanks to all the challenges that made making this card so fun! :)

After watercolouring the flowers and leaves (Overflowing - Penny Black), I used the matching die (Overflowing Cut Out - PB) to die-cut the image.  I also die-cut a PB frame (Sewing Stackers) and stamped the sentiment (Super Day - PB) to finish the card.  The frame and flowers are popped up with dots. :)

Sending the above card to the following challenges:
1)  Darnell's IDEAS Challenge - Week 1 - Inks - thank for the inspiration dear friend!
2)  Color Hues #107 - Orange and Teal - love this combo
3)  Penny Black Saturday Challenge April - AG or Easter - I opted for Anything PB Goes
4)  The Flower Challenge #101 - Use Spring Colours - I used Spring colours and Spring flowers. :)

Your orange tulips are lovely, Loll, and I love how they hang over the frame. Thanks for sharing them with us at The Flower Challenge.

Wonderful use of those colours, Loll. Love the way the tulips come out of the frame!

You can't imagine how badly I wish you lived next door, Loll!! I'd be over snitching/stamping all of your wonderful PB stamps! Your tulips are so lovely in their Spring colors - thanks so much for joining us at The Flower Challenge again!
