First, I have to thank Barbara for picking my card last week. This community of stampers is the best....you made me very happy, and happy is good. Today's challenge is brought to us by Maura. Tricking color that elegant eggplant can be with it's vibrant hues. When I need to make a card in a short time, my trusting brushes come out. Used a #6 flat brush with the reinkers and water to paint the flowers and leaves. The leaves on the right didn't look so good. Cut it out and then designed the card. Using inspiration from a card that Gail made last Sunday embossed the die in the corner and added score lines. Using my dip pen wrote the sentiment....need more practice, but it is so much fun. Will be back later to comment...busy day. Thanks again for starting my day in the most pleasant way. TFL

Linda, this is gorgeous!! I think it 's a good thing your leaves on the right did not turn out, because I love the layout you have here with the embossing on the right side of the card. Love how the color of the leaves is dripping down, too! Faved!

Just so beautiful, Linda. Oh my! Your coloring is so fluid and has such movement with your feathering outside the image. Have you taken any online classes you would recommend? I'd love to pursue any classes you've taken.
