Botanical Inspiration

Poster: mamaxsix

 So much inspiration to be found at today's challenge site Charleston Gardens. I loved the pretty flowers against the blue bg of these placemats (skipped the frog part) https://www.charlestongardens.com/pr...&mode=enlarged and took off from there. I thought I had the perfect dp for the bg, but if I do it is still hiding in the stash!!! I did find this sort of color-washed blue piece. I inked my image using markers and stamped onto the dp. I used a blender pen and added some Wisteria Wonder to the flowers. This piece is framed in Marina Mist. I had the Cconcord Crush embossed circle on my desk already. I stamped the bg with French Flair because the bg just seemed to need a little something more. I threw the piece of purple hemp onto my image panel, stamped the sentiment at the top and called it done. This was actually a late last night project and seeing it in the morning I'm just not quite sure about the bg, but such it is!

I was looking at those placemats and thought they would work wonderfully as an inspiration -- and they sure were that for you! This is a lovely monochromatic card.
