Love Blooms started with summer sun, only orange and old olive with the smackin' acetate technique. Then I stamped the stem with the love from wonderful words and water color garden leaves in old olive. The flower is repetatively stamped, rotating the stamp each time with the water color garden flower in cameo coral with a olive green and orange center. I brushed in some only orange on the flower and edged it in really rust and ruby red using the fine tip end of the SU water color markers. Then using the porcelain bouquet stamp set from rubber stamp tapestry I stamped the left side and bottom of the card with old olive, garden green, gable green, not quite navy, cameo coral and only orange to create the flowering vines. Last I sponged a little summer sun around the main flower outward and then all around the top edge with brillant blue ending at the bottom sponging with the greens used in the vine and adding a little handsome hunter green and summer sun. I did case another card for the idea for the stem and as soon I remember the poster I will give her credit for inspiring me to create this card. Finished card is 5x7. Thanks for looking!

You do some awesome work with yellows. I see quite a bit of yellow in your gallery. I've never quite got the hang of making yellows look so good. Kudos to you!
