Robin's challenge for this F4A Challenge is to use flowers on our card......something I LOVE, so this was a fun one for me. An old PSX botanical image which works well for an Easter card. I used the Brushos as one would traditional tube watercolors.
Thanks for the welcome, Robin. : )

Just this past Sunday my BFF was going to put this PSX stamp in a garage sale and I talked her into keeping it. I must show her what magic you have done with yous watercolors. The PSX botanical stamps are collector's items and you have used yours to create a masterpiece.

Exquisite, Sallie, there is no other word for this beautifully colored, delicate image. The die cut bg is the perfect foundation to frame this fabulous piece of art!

Well, this was not really a "challenge" for you, Sallie! Gorgeous as usual; you never let me down with your painting skills on flowers! I always come away thinking, "I should be able to do that." But the reality is, nobody does flowers quite like You do! Love, Love, Love your colors today~ Welcome to the team!
*I didn't even give it a thought to set my card on fire yesterday so I could complete the elements! But I had a good chuckle reading your comment! ; )

Fabulous water coloring of these calla lilies. That soft blue/green shade is perfect behind the flowers. Love seeing those wonderful PSX images in the gallery - I noticed you used a beautiful one yesterday, as well.
