Welcome Spring- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.
Time for another card for 
The Flower Challenge.

Our theme this month is Anything Goes and the DT's are all using some beautiful digital images to create our cards this month.
You also have a chance at winning these images from EunJi Jung at DotBStamp.



For my card, I printed out these lovely flowers images and watercoloured them using Brushos diluted with water.  I chose shades of yellow and oranges that reminded me of warm summer colours.
Using my Misti, I stamped a plaid background from Concord and 9th using some Peacock Feather Distress ink and set aside to dry. 
I die-cut a stitched frame and mounted the flowers over the corner of the frame and added the plaid background.  I stamped the sentiment in the top corner then lastly, using a fine line black marker, I colored in some of the flower center details then I covered the flower centers with Glossy Accents to give some shine.



You still have time to come and play along with us.
Thanks so much for the visit.

    What a vibrant and pretty colour combination Karen and Eunji's image is beautiful and just perfect for the treatment you have given it. The plaid background is great too. x

    Blue and yellow are one of my favourite colour combinations so I love your card! It is so fresh and summery - makes me think of eating outside with a checked table cloth and a lovely vase of flowers on the table.

    I love the color variations you got by painting with Brushos, Karen. I need to try that. The flowers look wonderful on that checked background.

    Karen, what a gorgeous card, the bold colors of these flowers stand out beautifully with the soft plaid blue background.
    How did you manage to watercolor this image after printing? I tried and the ink ran on me and that is why I decided to color my flowers with Prismacolor pencils.
    Beautiful card Karen.
