Mary's clever challenge today...play bingo! I went diagonally on the colors and my design. I used so saffron, rich razzleberry(which has a mind of it's own), crushed curry, and old olive. I sketched the flower...watercolored with the reinkers....it took on a very dark look with the rich razzleberry, so I highlighted with white acrylic paint. Made some black lines and outlined the flower with a fine black pen. Aded the bg of black water color and so saffron,A dark card today...kinda how I feel after the Badgers lost last night. TFL

This is dramatic and gorgeous Linda!! Yeah for you for sketching on your own. My drawing has gone out the window since I've gotten all of these stamps. (sad) I love the dark charcoal look behind your flower. Great dynamic card!!

I love this card! Like Kim said, it's very dramatic, but I think the colors are fabulous and I'm always impressed by people who can draw. No, it isn't sunshine and happiness, but friendship is just as much or more about being there through the hard times. I think this speaks volumes!

Wow, stunning highlighted flower that you sketched...I'm impressed. I was rooting for your Badger's. What a great season for the team and their loyal fans :-)
