One of God's Beauties
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: sillyfilly

 This is for the Color Challenge from yesterday. I just did not have time to play along until late last night. It is also for the TSC challenge from the 13th. I did a card for that challenge but read it wrong and did the wrong challenge! So Greenie here you go. I used SU re-inkers Cabana and Brown Sugar.
This is my first try at w/cing my main image. I need a lot more practice but I'm pleased. I did some other work too and when I signed the back of my card it picked up a smudge and there was nothing I could do about it. God wants to keep me humble! Black was not in the colors to use but my framing really needed it. Thanks for the challenge.

Your water coloring is good and as for the smudge, when that happens for me I usually try adding a tiny ladybug or butterfly to cover it up. If it happens in the sky area of a scene I draw in a v-shape to represent a bird or three.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! This is amazingly gorgeous!!! Your card seriously pops off of the screen. As for black or any of the other neutrals, they are always allowed in the color challenges. You have really done a beautiful job Silvia. :>)

Your watercoloring is wonderful, and so is this card. For the color challenges, you are always welcome to use any neutral color(s) along with the challenge colors, so the black is perfect! Love this card!

Sylvia, this is GORGEOUS!! Your watercoloring is fantastically done and the flower literally "glows". I like that you kept rest of the card relatively simple to let your wonderful work of art shine.

Wow, Sylvia!! You are doing a major job on the watercoloring scene - this is breath taking!! I also love that it is a simple card without anything to take away from your watercoloring - the black framing really makes it stand out!!
