A crazy thing happened with this image. I bought it over the weekend and the name of the blossoms was not on the package. I had the card ready to upload and thought I would go online to find the name. Well, it turned out to be Apple Blossom. I really would not have used this color theme had I known. So, I'm just calling these blooms wildflowers...this time.
I made this card for the February Fan Club Gallery.
I used Teresa Kline's sketch and also it fits the central theme-Best Buds-Friends and Flowers. I have a good friend that loves flowers and the color blue.

What a beautiful card! It has all the things I love to work with...flowers, butterflies and flourishes. Great color combo and who cares that the flowers are apple blossoms, I like the blue hue anyway! (:>) Great job!

Oh, Benz, what a beautiful card - and the good thing about stamping is the "artistic license" which enables you to color any color you want!! So, no matter what color you opt for - I know it will be gorgeous!!

I love the blue apple blossoms! I am sure there is a certain light where apple blossoms look blue or maybe scientists have come up with a hybrid that is tinted blue. Regardless, that is the fun in coloring and art - you can do anything whatever color you want. I like it in blue. Lovely card Benz! Hugz!!!

I love flowers and the color blue so I know this MUST BE FOR ME just for being ME!! I know what you mean if you figure out about the colors of flowers, etc., but I usually just use any color I feel like at the moment. Your card is a stand out and love all your lovely flourishes and diecuts. Great job Benzalina!
