I love it when the two daily challenges mesh during HYCCT month. : ) Today's WT and HYCCT did that for me.
WT555 = use a brush. I fell back on an old tole painting technique of brush stroke flowers....I'm VERY rusty, haven't done it in DECADES!! For the flowers, I used a flat brush and acrylic paints. All the design was done with the acrylics. I used the Hero stamp as a guide and freehanded(copied) the design.(Why try to improve upon something that is already good???)
HYCCT1529 = pink thank you card.

Stunning!! So beautiful and delicate, pink perfection! Not only beautiful, but elegant with the grey bg and silver framing! You've outdone yourself with this beauty, Sallie!!!

Sallie, I would Love to see your work at the "not so rusty" state....I mean, HELLO, is this not exquisite or what! Your shading is over-the-top and your use of those little black dots got to me! I'm Loving this one (just in case you couldn't already tell)~ ; )

WOW your flowers are beautiful! I really like the tiny details on centers. Only 6 more to go (you do have that extra week to complete them ) Hang in there!

Well, it's totally serendipitous that the challenges meshed so well ;-). I'm so glad you did the tole painting, it looks simply beautiful. Into my favourites.
