This is for Maura's fun colour challenge - Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie and for desert, favourite shade of green.
I am still away, hence the iPad dodgy photo and limited supplies. I brushoed (is that a word) a full A4 sheet. I used heaps of water and kept tilting the paper from side to side.
Until I saw Sabrina's beautiful card last week - MIX155 Floral Hug by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers, using this stamp, I thought it was a feather stamp LOL, turns out it is a floral arrangement. I learn something new everyday here in Splitcoaststamperville.
Using my MISTI and Versafine ink, I stamped the flower then coloured it with pencils. I got a bit carried away and used one (ok 3) pencils that were not quite the right colours.
Because this is just going in my book, I played around with the doodles, water drops and border. It is also a great way to experiment with different pens. I love the idea of art journaling, but I am too impatient for gesso and stuff. Making card panels is great fun, because I do most of my backgrounds on a full A4 sheet, I can put one panel in my book and keep the rest for a couple of cards.
Thank you for looking.

Really fantastic, Susie.....but then, all your work is. I saw "feather" until you set me straight. These colors were lovely to begin with, but you shot them into the stratospher!!

What a treat it would be to sit and look through your art journal...from what you have posted it would be a best seller. You use such creativity in all of your fantastic creations. The colors and doodling on this gorgeous floral creation are stunning.
