Tomorrow is my mom's (lovingzinnias) birthday. I was so excited to see the colors for today's challenge, because we both like these and I thought it would make a beautiful birthday card.
BUT....of course I had to try out a new technique, and it didn't turn out anything like I wanted it to. It took me forever, but it's my own fault. I should have followed the directions more closely. It does look better IRL, and I hope she will like it.
I tried the Emerging Colors technique and used Groovy Guava for the background. I know it looks like Really Rust, but I just applied many layers of color with the brayer.
I have been away on vacation and I'm so happy to be home again...home being SCS, of course! TFL!!

wow wow wow!! I'm always so impressed at those who so carefully cut each petal. This is just beautiful!! I just love the shading on the petals. I'm sure your mom will love it. She should frame it! Glad you are safely back~ I love your work!
