I suppose this isn't as bright as it could be, but Orchid Opulence has always been a bright color that I don't use very often, and today I got the chance!
I stamped my violets {Flourishes} in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then watercolored them with Orchid Opulence and Elegant Eggplant on top. The leaves are done with Green Galore and Mint Melody (retired). The surrounding color wash was done with Marigold Morning (retired).
The violets are painted with Angel Wings Shimmerz after drying. See a close-up on MY BLOG~
This is also for the DD Inspiration Challenge this month - HERE.
