Audrie's inspiration challenge took us to Caudros Board on Pinterest. I chose this bouquet of flowers; http://pin.it/1xOuGSM
Using a variety of distressed inks, I stamped the flowers by first stamping in ink, spritzed with water applied to the mixed media paper.
Once I have all the flowers stamped, I did the same with the leaves. I watercolored the background and vase. I then used a white gel pen to outline one leaf center right of panel and dotted on the left side of panel and a centers of a couple of flowers.
Using mint pigment ink and a flat brush, I swiped on the in ink the upper center of panel.
Finished with sentiment inked with Fresh Fig.
It may not be as intense in color as the inspiration but I really like the results.
Thanks Audrie's for another fabulous inspiration site!

I can't believe how closely your stamped & enhanced flowers are to those in your chosen inspiration. I thought you had done an entirely free-hand watercolor until I read your description - Well done!!
