A card to cheer up Elke's mom, who is in the hospital recovering from a series of strokes. She loves flowers, so we are wanting to brighten up her drab hospital walls with lots of color and flowers.
I sponged the ef background with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides, and kept it to one color to accentuate the purples of the alstroemeria and butterfly. The alstroemeria flower is a coordinating die cut which I watercolored with Distress Inks and attached to the ef background. The smiling bee has Stickles on his wings to add some sparkle.

Wow, what an awesome card, my eyeballs fell out of their socket when they saw the coloring on your flowers with the soft yellow bg. No wonder the bee was drawn to it.
