Jeanne is our hostess for this week's Color Challenge CC923! She has selected Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, and Pacific Point with the Dessert Option of adding any color of pink!
Flowers came to mind when I saw Jeanne's challenge, so with that thought, I water colored a panel and added Melon Mambo to fulfill the dessert option. Once the water color paper was dry, I die cut the wisteria flowers and adhered them to an embossed Basic White panel. The branch of leaves are die cut from Mossy Meadow (an allowed Natural color). The water colored strip on the right side is all I had left from the water colored panel but couldn't resist using it!
I hope you give this week's colors a try, we would love to see your take on Jeanne's colors! Thank you for taking a look!

Beautiful blending of this week's colors, LeAnn, and I love the wisteria images. Using that leftover strip of colors was a master touch! Such a pretty card!

This is so beautiful LeAnn. When I chose these colors I hadn’t thought floral but your choice of the wisteria is perfect! I love the watercolor wash you created for them; it’s gorgeous.

I love the strip on the right! So beautiful! Glad you saved what was left from die cutting those fab wisteria.

This is so attractive, LeAnn! You have used these colors so well. Beautiful wisterias and nice texture too. I've never just water colored a piece of wc paper without stamping something on it first. You've got me thinking here. I have sponged a piece of regular paper with several colors and then die-cut leaves from it though~

So beautiful. Love your creative idea to create the colored panel and then die-cut the flowers from it. The extra strip on the side looks terrific. Love the sentiment with the hanging flowers. Nicely done!
