I'm so honored to be hosting a challenge for VSBN!!
My challenge is a Cooking.com inspired challenge and all you scrappers that do all our challenges are eligible to win a CRAZY AWESOME prize courtesy of Cooking.com!
Anyway, I LOVED the Zak Designs bowl image - come on, it's BLUE!!
For my sample for this challenge I took inspiration from the bold colors of the bowl. I was thinking about the pictures I'd taken that have the boldest, most vivid and unusual color combinations and I kept coming back to the finest of all artists - Mother Nature herself! She's not matchy matchy - she's loud and proud and bright and filled with gorgeous opposites.
So I digiscrapped my pride and joy this spring - my American Beauty roses. We are in a severe drought here in Texas, and I took these photos right after our sprinkler finished, so there were a few drops of precious water still on my flowers.
The background is courtesy of Web Design Ledger the bird is from the Graphics Fairy, and I put it all together with Photoshop and My Digital Studio.

Oh my Lydia - this is so so beautiful. You're right, Mother Nature doesn't care about matchy matchy!! How creative of you to use all these elements together - those amazing roses still dripping with fresh water are pure perfection! Love this.
