This is for 2 challenges combined, and it was perfect timing for both. I fell in love with this image on the inspiration challenge this week by Better Photo:
I colored in the petals and leaves with watercolor pencils and used my new Dove Blender Pen to blend.
This photo from Better Photo not only gave me the opportunity to pull out a dusty SU stamp, but it was perfect for utilizing this week's TLC323 wrinkle free distress technique, which you can see here:

Beautiful card! I love the inked background and the flowers are very pretty. I think I may have this stamp set, too. I need to go through my "nature" shelf of stamps and find it. TF the reminder.

Barb, what a pretty card. This SU image has always been a favorite...even tho' I don't own it. Love how you colored the flowers....and they go so beautifully with your wrinkle free distress bg. The simple button & twine are perfect accents.
