Played along in Splitcoaststamper’s Inspiration Challenge today. My intention for this challenge was to make a card to celebrate this Memorial Day weekend. But then I spotted a beautiful floral plate, and well… this happened instead.
Here is the pink rose plate that was used as the inspiration.
This was such a fun image to color! Tip: The centers of some of the roses are dotted with a white gel pen to help the flowers “pop”.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. But as you are having fun with family and friends…
