An easy challenge as I love colouring. I used Paper Rose Thanks A Bunch stamped on white card and coloured with Polychromos. Jayne gave me this stamp, and I had saved an Australian Christmas card from a cousin last year to use as colouring inspiration because I never think of proteas as pink - the ones I see in the Botanic Gardens here are usually yellow. Friends visiting from South Africa last month gave me a tea towel which was a print of pink protea
I sponged with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo around the edges, spattered with gold Twinkling H2Os. Base sponged with black and dotted with gold paint.

I don't know these flowers either...but they're so pretty.They have a vintage feel and go well with your distress sponging. Lovely card and how nice of Jayne to gift you the stamp.

Beautiful coloring, Sabrina. I see from the comments I'm not the only one these flowers are new to. Sue28 sent me a few stamped images with a tickle, including this image, and I had to google "protea" to see what colors they come in.

Sabrina, you have coloured this beautiful bouquet so expertly. It's great to get inspiration from real photos, etc. I love the vintage paper look of the bg with script on it. Beautifully done.
