Today's challenge is to use paint on a card. I used the one stroke painting to make the flowers. The center of the flower was dotted with sharpie poster paint pen. I added a sentiment, gem ribbon and bow. tfl
I'm so happy to be making a card again. All the hype is over. A crew from the Today Show came yesterday afternoon. They were soooooo nice. They stayed for about two hours, and took video of my husband milking a cow, and then the reporter doing it. They went around the farm and took video of everything. It is going to be aired next Thursday morning. The today show will be live from Lambeau Field the morning of the season opener. It might be only a 5 second clip. I don't know. It really was a fun experience.

Linda. I'm setting my UVerse now! Don't want to miss. How exciting!
Now on to your lovely card. Love your one stroke blossoms. You are very adept in double-loading a brush! I suspect your were a tole painter or folk art painter in a former life! : ) Double-loading is not easy to do IMO. The flowers are all the more dramatic when done on black. A stunning card!
