For today's Inspiration challenge - I was inspired by this color palette orange, yellow, greens and light blue!
I used the same two step stamps that I used for yesterday's Free 4 All challenge (since everything was still out on my work table!) - using 3 colors on my blooms and adding a light blue stenciled background to ground the image. I stenciled lightly using ink on a sponge applicator - and tried to leave a space in the middle with no stenciling where I would stamp my image and not stenciling out to the edges of the panel.
Thanks for the fun challenge today Julie! what a great site for color inspiration!

The blooms are beautiful and I love the stenciling. Also, I like that large birthday sentiment.
