Who loves pink flowers? The new Calypso paper pack has some of my favourite colours in it - Cotton Candy, Lagoon and Pear. It doesn't get much better than that! I decided to take advantage of that gorgeous colour scheme for this week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts. I also turned the sketch over on a funny angle - kind of 90 degrees but not exactly... In order to get my flowers to fit, I had to alter things a little but then again, a sketch is guideline and is open for interpretation.
My flowers and leaves were coloured in a new way for me - I used a waterbrush and reinkers. I stamped about 7 of each piece and practiced until I had one of each that I was happy with - it took some time as the technique was new to me. I learned a lot and will definitely try it again.

I just purchased this stamp set. Hibiscus are beautiful and the Hawai'i State Flower. Your card is lovely - all the colors of watching a Hawai'ian sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Fabulous!
So Beautiful!
This is beautiful and I love the colors. You did a fantastic job on the coloring!
Your card is beautiful and the colors so you. Of course, the sketch layout is fantastic. I love this stamp set, have already used it a couple time but you won't see one of them until June at Color Dare...keep you in suspense.
