Hello everyone!
Today's inspiration challenge was to be inspired by Glenda Mosher's Art Gallery here: http://glendamosher.blogspot.com/
I chose the one called Windswept Wildflowers on the right hand side.
What can I say? Glenda.... I'm so sorry! I'd like to blame this on the fact that I was working in the dark... but really.... I'm embarassed to show it! LOL! I used the wet on wet technique on watercolor paper, and just watercolored in a background in the general colors, then I overstamped with my Hero Arts wildflowers stamp. I used Markers for all the coloring, including the stamp. I then went back with an Always Artichoke marker and added a few leaves and stems. I pounced on white as Glenda had splashes of white on hers. Well.... now y'all know why I'm a stamper, not an artiste!!!
Glenda... you are so talented! I knew you made gorgeous cards, but didn't realize you were so gifted in so many different ways! Thanks for letting us gaze at your gallery today! I was inspired, it just didn't come out right!

What are you talking about. This is gorgeous Grace. I love it. Is your electricity out or were you just kidding. This turned out so well. You, MariLynn and I are all neighbors in the gallery. We must have all been stamping at the same time. I am winding down and exhausted. Hope we can get a good cup of coffee this week. TTYL. I do NOT like this weather. It is sooo windy here now.

This turned out soooooooo cool Grace! Way to experiment and play. A lot of times that is what I am doing, in making cards and creating art. Thanks for visiting my blogspot and for being inspired to create an artistic piece of your own!
