The second was for this week's Inspiration Challenge. We were to go out and browse through Charleston Gardens, and when I saw this pillow - well the rest was history:
My image is a free digi from Cornish Heritage Farms. I used Flower Soft for the very first time on the flowers. Not sure if you can tell. Love how it looks IRL, and will definitely use it in the future
Thanks for looking, and I hope you like it.

Oh, this is so pretty! I love your pretty paper combo. You do a great job with the watercoloring effect. I CAN see the flower soft, and I think it is applied very skillfully.
I am coloring impaired, so I appreciate the work of others. In the past when I would try that style and the pretty blue halo. Then I would try to say my small children colored it for me. Now that they are older I just can't get away with that any more! ;)
Thanks for playing and that is one beautiful card!

Barb, what a beautiful card. Your coloring is a WOW and the flower soft gives such dimension and looks like real little flowers. Lovely choice of DPs too.
