Robin's challenge today is brilliant. We are to show something we enjoy doing on our cards. My love for flowers...planting, watching them grow, and photography them would be my choice. Flowers remind me of people....some are showy, others are delicate, hardy and given the right care and environment all are beautiful. One of my favorite perennial is the clematis. It needs a trellis to climb, but the blooms last many days. Colored the digi with reinkers and the butterfly with a zig watercolor brush. Added some embossing. Using a pen and ink did the sentiment. TFL A friend has encouraged me to enter this card into the power poppy challenge for May. Here is the link. http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2016/...y-flowers

This is wonderful. I have spent ages just looking at the wonderful colouring and the washy background colours. What a great inspiration. Love the added touch of calligraphy for the sentiment too.

An absolute masterpiece!! So beautifully done, Linda, and headed for my favorites (not because I can ever reproduce such beauty, but just so I can go back and gaze at it.)

This is truly magnificent, Linda! The painting is spectacular and love the "bleed" of color around those gorgeous flowers. Embossing over the artwork is such a wonderful effect! SO well done!

This is SO beautiful, Linda! I am really loving the addition of the embossing - such a gorgeous detail, and very unique. Your water coloring is fantastic on this, as well. Add me to the long list that put this into favorites!
