Hi! This is for todays Inspiration Challenge. Anne is filling in for Stephanie this week...thank you! She has sent us to Crate Label Museum. You can read about it here. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
This is what I chose for ny inspiration piece. http://cratelabelmuseum.com/pic.php?id=1529
I lightly sketched the flowers and then went back and watercolored using my Peerless Watercolors and an Aquabrush. Wanted to keep it CAS to focus on the painting. I matted with red cs and popped it up on a Fabriano notecard. I added an antiqued frog charm and red strips to the inside and envelope. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!
For more chit chat please visit me at http://paper-rose-petals.blogspot.com/
I love when you stop by!!

Time for a bath to ease myself after too long in the garden, but how could I not leave a comment on this beauty. You should be much more positive about your painting ability, Judi, I just love all the cards you share with your own drawings.

Now this is definitely a painting worthy for the National Museum in DC. I love your image/scene and that coloring is way over the top, girl. Your card clearly defines the word gorgeous!
