Hi there and welcome back! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Pam is hosting this week and she has chosen the vibrant colors of Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch and Pear Pizzazz, with a dessert option to include a tropical treat on your card.
I love this color combination but instead of a tropical treat I decided to watercolor a new-to-me Dahlia image from Hero Arts. I painted each petal first with an intense amount of Calypso Coral at the base, pulled the ink part way up the petal, then added Pineapple Punch to the tip and used a damp brush to blend. I loved how the colors mixed and while the water coloring was a little time consuming, I love the process and the end result.
The rest of the card is pretty self evident but if you want more details, please head over to my blog here.

Oh, Stef, I saw this earlier in the week and have been distracted, but I LOVE this card! I have this stamp (not the die), and your coloring is exquisite! I love the technique and use it myself. The DP you've used is perfect, and what a great layout! I totally love the border punch piece with the twine and tag! Beautifully done, sweet friend! Hugs! xoxo

You are the Queen of Blooms. Your flowers are always so beautiful and colorful. I don't know many flowers and never know what colors to use. I need some of your knowledge. This is another beautiful card my dear.

Stef, this is a very beautiful card. I bought that same stamp recently and have a plan set in my mind what to do with it. You have enabled me to create with it sooner than later(smile). Thank you so much for that nice comment you left on my birthday card yesterday. I appreciate you taking the time to do that.
