Lisa's challenge this week is to use print from books or anything with print. This is one of my favorite techniques. The print used in this card is from a magazine. Painted the flower with acrylic paints, added the sponging. With a dip pen and ink, wrote the sentiment. Added wink of stella to the flower. TFL

Wowza Linda, I love your stunning flower and it is so amazing on the print. I am so in AWE of your talent to paint. Some day I am going to have to just start trying my hand at painting - when I have more time - giggles! So beautifully done sweet friend!

This is Stunning! I am drawn to your fantastic pen and ink work-that is a true art form of its own.
The perfect finishing touch to your wonderfully painted flower and love the embossed border across the bottom.
Everything came together perfectly...
