Hello everyone!
Today's inspiration challenge was to be inspired by Glenda Mosher's Art Gallery here: http://glendamosher.blogspot.com/
I chose the one called Windswept Wildflowers on the right hand side.
What can I say? Glenda.... I'm so sorry! I'd like to blame this on the fact that I was working in the dark... but really.... I'm embarassed to show it! LOL! I used the wet on wet technique on watercolor paper, and just watercolored in a background in the general colors, then I overstamped with my Hero Arts wildflowers stamp. I used Markers for all the coloring, including the stamp. I then went back with an Always Artichoke marker and added a few leaves and stems. I pounced on white as Glenda had splashes of white on hers. Well.... now y'all know why I'm a stamper, not an artiste!!!
Glenda... you are so talented! I knew you made gorgeous cards, but didn't realize you were so gifted in so many different ways! Thanks for letting us gaze at your gallery today! I was inspired, it just didn't come out right!

You are too hard on yourself. You are an excellent stamper, but this is beautiful too. It is free and it allows the imagination to go wild. It is beautiful and peaceful. You are just not use to the look. You did a terrific job interpreting this artist's work. Thank you very much for showing us your lovely creation.

Hi, Grace! This is stunning! I love how the colors play off each other and the white adds just enough contrast to make your eyes dance from place to place. I don't think any of us can imitate the beauty that Glenda portrays from her God-given and inspired talent!!! I've been following your work. Sorry that I haven't commented, but have had a few difficult weeks. So nice to be in touch, again. I really love seeing your creations. TFS! Take care.
