Karen is our hostess this week, and she has challenged us with the pretty combo of Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo and Pear Pizzazz. Dessert this week is embossing, but I wasnÂ’t able to fit it into this design, so dieting this week!
This card was an experiment from beginning to end. I tried to match the Zig markers and the Distress Inks to the challenge colors, but I was only partially successful. The two flowers are different from each other, but both are too bright for Lost Lagoon. The leaves turned out more yellow than green. I think that was due to too much water on the watercolor paper. I did have a chance to use some new toys—the word is from “Fancy Words” by Reverse Confetti, and the white flowers and leaves are “Single Roses” by Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!
Accessories: Candy Dots, Fancy Words die (Reverse Confetti), Single Roses die (SSS), Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, Flourish Stencil (TH), Stitched Retangles STAX (MFT)

I really admire your beautifully stencilled background and the water coloured layer behind the flower dies is so pretty too. Going to have to check out those dies as well.
