As is often the case, I was drawn to colors on our site today, and I liked the shades of blue in this image here.
On wc cs, I stamped the flowers and then watercolored with zig watercolor markers. I masked the flowers, die cut the cs in a rectangle frame, but then shaded the bg while it was still in the die.
Die cut my white bg with my cover plate die (can't remember the name), and assembled all on the card front. No sentiment for this one because I like to have some cards that I can use for just any occasion.

Lovely interpretation of your inspiration - not only are the colors beautiful but the overall look of your flowers has a close feel to the design on that glass bobble. The lattice framing looks great on this card.

The dots of blue in the inspiration piece are so wonderfully represented in the flowers you chose, Maura!!

Ooh I have blue grape hyacinths blooming right now (that's what these look like to me) so, that was fun to see that someone made a stamp of those bulbs and I love the vibrancy of the colors so much
