Julia's challenge was to focus on the color orange. It's a color I tend to avoid, yet when I do use it, I'm often surprised at the beauty of it! I colored the waterlily & leaves with Copics. I need to learn how to sponge sunsets as I'm never happy with my results (hint, hint for a tutorial by some expert), but this is my beginner's attempt with using sponge daubers and masking with a circle punch. I like to keep a stash of cards without sentiments, so I can add them later - either to the outside or the inside. TFL & commenting!

Love that out-of-the-box lily, and your sky. Hey, you sponge better than I do, so I'm ahead of you in line for that tutorial.
Actually I have a sneaky feeling that really it's up to me to practice, practice and practice, but that's work!!
