Ally gave us a fantastic sketch today. I was working on my card for tomorrow's challenge, and this card was tossed in the wastebasket. I decided to cut it into the banners, and then it didn't look so bad. Hence a card was rescued, and made into a card. Drew the flower...watercolored...highlighted with white gesso , and added dots with my handle of the paint brush. Added the circle and sentiment. TFL
Running errands ...will be back later to comment.

Oh, Linda, this is gorgeous! It's hard to believe this was "rescued" and made into this amazing card! I love it and love the added dots and how it works so perfectly with the sketch - I love it cut apart. Wow, I may have to take a look at my basket of "never made it" work. I so adore your work! Hugs!

Doesn't it feel good to recover a lost card?? I love the way this went together, LInda. Great flower against the olive!

I don't know why this would be in the trash but I sure am glad you rescued it and created this beauty. Into my favs (although I could never paint such a beautiful flower)
